Isn't it just marvelous how the government says one thing, but goes on to do the exact opposite? Why would Ms. Grange be seeking to open new office in New Kingston when her government is saying that every body else must head downtown? Was the recent news about the government acquiring land around Gordon House for Parliament Building a disinformation used as a precursor to Ms. Grange’s announcement?
It is so important that the government not only be truthful in what it promises Jamaica, but must demonstrably appear to be doing so in its deeds. It is a pity for one to say that you can't trust any politician, but P J came and sang about his plans or vision for Downtown Kingston, Portia never got the chance to say 'mom', and now Bruce come back with the same rhetoric, only him dress it up wid him first passion a.k.a. talk-show hosting. And while the masses are burning off their Digicel dollars waiting to connect to our prime minister turn Mutty-wanna-be, Babsy is beating her chest that it's gonna be Knutsford Boulevard or High waters for her. Meanwhile tax payers are being called upon to fork out more money to pay for ‘High Gluten’ Flour-based products that are sure to shorten our lives and lead to more tax revenue to support wasteful habits of politicians. God please come down, fast.
Minister of information, culture, youth and sports (MICYS), Olivia Babsy Grange
I respect Babsy Grange and hope that she does not allow herself to be drawn to the path
where she becomes blind to the needs of the poor. And by the poor I am not in the least referring to the populace’s definition of the poor. I am referring to the newly poor, who aren’t accustomed to the new experience but are quite prepared to weather the storm until the economy turns around. The newly poor won’t sit around and let you spend the people’s money willy-nilly. The newly poor have all the skills in the world, they have the most recent qualifications in addition to their wealth of experience, but they’ve become newly poor because neither they nor their offspring are employable. They are newly poor
because they have depleted their savings and investment waiting for the tide to turn. With no life or health insurance; with debilitating diseases like diabetes, high blood pressure, even Alzheimer, the newly poor may have been stupid to allow a government to trash them for 18 years, but they are not going to take it lying down this time around. If 64 Knutsford Boulevard is government’s property, then that may be OK, but if not, the tax payer deserves to know whose back is being massaged.
