2019 is coming to an end with hope and aspiration for our people for 2020. Our people were promised prosperity, a high growth rate, a safe environment, and high employment but ended up empty-handed. What happened in 2019 is the enrichment of the same few that have been in control of our economic and political life since independence. The Private Sector along with their partners in Parliament have ...

Touring the parish of Manchester, parish of my dad's birthplace was a refreshing and shocking experience. Not much has changed, the natural beauty still dots the landscape. It was interesting to reason with the young farmers in Aucthenbeddie and Shudley about their issues. They lament the lack of opportunities thus their continued interest in farming yams. The price they are paid is so minimal ...

Another year is coming to an end, our country has experience positives mostly on the international scene but on the local scene, our society is experiences shock and awe on the murders and corruption occurring with no end in sight.

Jamaica Manufacturing Association is upset at the possibility of the government intent on centralizing the importation of sugar to stem duty-free imported sugar into the system. The private sector, the only sector within our society that have unbridle power to do what it pleases due to its powerful impact on our governance, must be held to account, only those who are elected by our people must ...

It is that time again when our country is in a celebratory mood during the yuletide season to share and get together with families, friends, and loved ones.  It has been over 57 years since our independence from British rule and it is sad that we are in a social, moral, economic and political crisis. There is no amount of false prosperity, hyped good feelings, the celebration of our people's ...

Welcome back home, you have given us inspiration and prove once again that we can achieve the impossible given the opportunity on the world stage.

"Dr. Haughton Walkback" Sunday gleaner editorial, 12/15/19.

Dr. Clarke's article in the Sunday Gleaner, Dec,15,2019 ( Fiscal Sustainability, external sustainability, and price stability) regurgitated the typical liberal argument on the correct path chosen in adopting the IMF model of economic development.

In the western world, using their concept of democracy to elect racist, warmongers, and demagogues, Boris Johnson is the latest addition. Hidden behind the media hoopla is the privately-owned media manipulating people's thoughts to gain the desired outcome. When the racists are not stealing Venezuelan assets they are overthrowing governments in Latin America. Ethnic groups in England will be ...

Welcome home to your beautiful island in the sun. It is still beautiful but a lot has changed, a lot remain the same or worse. Our health care system is in a mess, the crime rate is very high along with murders. If you are staying in an all-inclusive hotel the risk is minimized but it still remains.

Since our independence, our indigenous rasta movement highlighted the importance of agriculture as a means of self-reliance and job creation. Similar to the response to Peter Tosh's reasoning of legalizing the weed, the officialdom turned a deaf ...

Our elected official is sounding the alarm on their inability to function with the present salary arrangement and are seeking a pay raise.  It is very important that all parliamentarians disclose their assets to EOJ and the relevant bodies to justify any increases.
