Shame on Holness

Mr. Andrew Holness       The news out of Jamaica is that the Opposition Jamaica Labour Party JLP wants to have a referendum, to determine if Jamaica should be a part of the Caribbean Court of Justice (CJJ). Once more the noose is being drawn tighter around the already choking neck of the regional integration movement. We would have thought that Mr. Andrew Holness, the young, dynamic and recently reelected leader of the Jamaica Labour Party, would have been more in tuned with progressive thinkers in the region. If the new breed of Caribbean leaders, of which we include Mr. Holness, cannot be more enlightened, it means that crapaud lining up to smoke we pipe!

One Caribbean Nation. Jamaica National Flag Jamaican Children The news out of Jamaica that 1,147 crimes were reported against children  last year, must be horrific news  for all regional citizens, who continue to advocate for the safety of our children. The break down is frightening, to say the very least. Some of the statistics should alarm us all: 56 children between the ages of 1 and 10 295 between the ages of 11 to 17 387   18 year olds 36 murdered We note that these are just the acts that have been reported . We know that there must hundreds or dozens more, who have not reported these acts for several reasons and this makes the picture even more frightening. We can only let the figures speak for themselves and continue to urge Jamaica and all regional governments to place the protection of our children as a number one priority.
