Some years ago abt 21 premature babies died because their immune systems weren't properly developed to fight off a virus called klebsiella. It was reported that the virus was as a result of the hospitals not being cleaned properly.
When a graduate from a University in Jamaica can make up 500k jmd a month in China as an English Teacher, walk a road free and safe and be able to pay off their student loans in quick time… just who are we to tell them to stay in Jamaica to either be jobless or underpaid?
Sawr this today and it reminded me that in the midst of this chaotic world, good and decent people still exist!
Whoever lives on this property here may your store basket never run dry in Jesus Name!
A Pregnant Jamaican citizen was denied the right to proper Health Care and has paid the ultimate price for it... DEATH!
Meanwhile a foreigner was flown in the country in the middle of a Lockdown that was ordered by the Gov't and was attended to- by the way, he was tested +tive.

First of all!!! God is not the author of confusion and that there IS confusion! Ain’t no anointing gonna tell you to do all that. That’s FLESH and no flesh shall glory in his presence.
Government revenue over performing but schools have to stop feeding programs under the Path Program?
Teachers going months without pay?
Where all this over performing revenue going?
Anyways... Over 200jmd/liter for gas and no rioting?
Government still collecting that tax but not buying the hedge to cushion the rise in global prices thus protecting the Jamaican Consumer- yet, no rioting?
Nothing about 1998 rings a bell?
Imagine you win a girl from her man and for 11 years of the relationship you keep bringing up her ex.
You’ve done nothing new for her with all the promises you made… all this time just reminding her of her ex every striking day weh pass.

I tell you what. A university graduate leaves Jamaica for China as a teacher of English. He/she takes home on average 18,000 rmb per month, after tax!
That's over 400,000jmd.
So perhaps "run away" isn't the term you want to use but we leave to seek a better life!
Y'all were very quick to lower the tariff on fowl but can't drop the duty on Technological Educational Devices.
Saltfish really better than education it seem.
Very shameful and unconscionable that a government would offer students on scholarships overseas a loan to flee a potential warzone.
But the silence of the opposition Spokespersons on Foreign Affairs|Trade and Education and Youth in all of this is equally alarming.
@AaronRBallanty1
Many will feel like we speak this way out of a place of hate for country when on the contrary it’s from a place of love and genuine concern that the things which are great about our country need to start being great for the people themselves.
I can only judge a person based on the standards they set for themselves. By this logic, Holness has failed by his own standards which he has set for himself.
Well, since the Government's campaign slogon is about recovery here are just a few things to recover.
1. 427mil for used cars.
2. Unknown sums from petrojam.
3. 800mil debushing.
4. Misappropriated monies from CMU
5. JUTC misappropriation of funds.
One thing wid PNP every time we have laborites on the back foot and in the corner someone somewhere does something to shift the focus.
I not getting distracted from this 43m spend on foolishness while a blasted loan was offered to our students to flee a war zone!
Do we not as citizens have the right to:-
1. Call for the resignation of the current Minister as we did in the past?
2. Ask the Prime Minister if he has heard the cries of the people who died as a result of the lack of oxygen?
Nevertheless the Leader of opposition then who is Prime Minister now, made it a complete political football and campaigned hard, "I HEAR THE DEAD BABIES CRYING"! Fast forward to now, it is being reported that 8 persons have died as a result of the oxygen shortage to incl a nurse
For an elected rep who has been sitting in the Parliament since 1997 and has gone through 5 election cycles to say he doesn't trust the ELECTORAL IDs issued by the ELECTORAL OFFICE OF JAMAICA to the very voters who ELECT him to the parliament, is quite damning!
The saying is true "same knife stick sheep stick goat." Holness has long campaigned on Crime, Health and Education 3 areas which should be exempt from political campaigns and we've seen how he himself and his admin has failed in dealing with them also.
I’ve wasted the entire day and I mean the ENTIRE day running from ATM to ATM trying to make a deposit and none of them taking the “New Money”
The ones that actually do, the deposit option isn’t available.
So remind me again, why the FUCK did we change the monies?
Did the Prime Minister actually reinstated Mr Green WHILE THERE WAS A PENDING RULING from the DPP on whether he should be charged for Breaching the DRMA?
I guess every civil servant who are interdicted should get back dem work in the middle of an investigation then...No?
We sounded the alarm in China no one looked... The question was "a who send unuh guh deh"
The students in Cuba cried out- we know how that turned out.
Students in Mexico and Brazil got their share... Still nothing.
Now here we are in a more dire situation as Ukraine 😒😒
So I am supposed to listen a Former Ukrainian journalist now living in Jamaica and was in Jamaica at the time of the debacle over the first hand account of the students who were there and had to flee?
For the REAL STORY OF THE STUDENTS IN UKRAINE, go to YouTube and search for the documentary (about 3 hours long) by filmmaker Jamaica with Irie: Jamaican students in Ukraine.
It will cause you to pause.
One Love Still.
They promised 5in 4 and all now.
They promised sleep with windows n doors open- dem seh lock yuh door.
Dem promised fixed election dates. That stil deh pon the order paper.
They promised to stamp out corruption- well… y’all see what is happening.
I recall well some months ago a ship with Workers was trying to dock. Government said no they can't dock.
The difference with that ship and this one is...
You guessed it!
"Guests" 😬
If you could put Shearer and Sangster together then perhaps Busta could be paired with Seaga and the Manleys with each other.
Simpson Miller with Nanny
Ms Lou and Sharpe
Gordon with Jennings (I mean they did die side by side)
Marcus with Bob.
In parliament while giving a report then Minister of health made an egregious comment in his description of the babies saying, "they weren't babies in the real sense" there were immediate calls for his resignation.
NCB posts 19bn in Profits.
Who is the Owner of NCB?
Who is the Chairman of the Government's Economic Growth Council (ECG)?
The blocking of the banking bill is quite telling.
All I can remember is November 2012 down in Hanover when the opposition leader said if we voted PNP we going to die... That if we voted JLP we'd be able to sleep with Windows and Doors open!
Don't politicize crime
Then come to cry!

Strong Black Woman who is Jamaica's fist female PM, a history you nor anyone can take away from her.
Now fix your crown my dear.
Doctors in 2020 are UNemployed under Andrew Michael Holness.
Doctors in 1970s were being trained and employed under Michael Norman Manley.
Which Michael then is the true champion of the people?
I just here wondering if and when Mrs Johnson Smith wins this Secretary General something and someone she doesn't like is presenting or speaking at one of the sittings if she's gonna get up and walk out like she did in the Senate 🤔
Can't bring those behavior abroad yuh know.
The speaker makes no mistake in showing her bias at every sitting of the House!
It’s time for an independently elected speaker of the House of Representatives in Jamaica.
My dear PSM,
oh how they mocked and ridiculed you. Called you all manner of names. Slander you, seh yuh fi dead and not one single solitary person was arrested.
It's indeed different times.
Dictatorship times.
If such Minister could be reinstated then all persons who were charged with breaching the DRMA should be forgiven and records expunged.
Past, present and future!
In my view, the resignation calls had nothing to do with the performance of the minister at the time (because surely it can't expected that the Min should be responsible for the cleaning of hospitals) but as a direct result of his fauxpas.
Information Minister, Robert Morgan, says the Opposition Peoples National Party, PNP, was actively campaigning in the diaspora against Senator Kamina Johnson Smith’s bid for Commonwealth Secretary General.
Mu variant didn't just develop itself in Jamaica like that. It needed a vehicle through which to get here... Therefore if during no movement lockdown days there is a new variant, how did it reach?
But y'all stay being apologists for the government. Carry on then!
PNP cuss her seh she is laborite
Laborite cuss her seh she is PNP
All that means is, she's doing her Job!
....is how I'd introduce
@djmillerJA
if given the opportunity.
I honestly tried to watch his presentation… I couldn’t finish. No substance!
It’s like he finally got the chance to be a Laborite having denied it for so long.
We need some independent senators on a real!
Government Senator Abka Fitz-Henley is describing as hypocritical the posture of the Opposition PNP and its leader Mark Golding towards the issue of a salary increase for political representatives.
If you employ persons with military background to the office of Commissioner of Police then you will get military responses to issues.
Then what in that should Cousins withdraw?
The question is always "a who send unuh guh deh...?"
Well the answer is that he System- the system which says we need papers to be taken seriously. The same System which made education unaffordable for a majority of people.
I really wanna know where People was gonna stay and know that vaccines were gonna expire?
This Government finds every avenue to blame people for their shortcomings. Instead of Manning up, the Health Minister threw a whole tantrum on Twitter.
Government giving one off payments of 25,000jmd to PPV operators. Now that’s all good and well until they pull up to tiger mart or a Texaco.
Anything less than A reversal of the Gas Tax and or buying of an oil hedge is a scam! A three card trick.
A student who is suppose to be on suspension disrupts a class in session by attempting to gamble. Teacher spoke to student then boom the student throws hands. The teacher retaliates and people are saying the teacher is wrong. 😔😔
The relentless illustration of de facto apartheid in Israel not only towards the Palestinians but visibly towards black people!

When i was coming to China, some folks who knew me warned me saying, “its a communist country so you cant go voicing your displeasure at will- dem will lock yuh up!”
Today i give the same warning to my friends in Jamaica.
The more I hear about SoEs is the more I feel we are failed state.
I still do feel ZOSO, especially with its social intervention elements, is best suited in these circumstances.
The real question then is, why is Government adamant on declaring SoEs?
The double standards are on FULL display under this Jamaica Labor Party Government led by the supposed NEW AND DIFFERENT Post Independence Born Prime Minister!
@londiemurray
I've long held the belief that the education we get in Jamaica supercedes that which is provided in the US. I think the answer may be found in the difference b/w Pedagogy & Andragogy. What we learn in Jamaica at say 1st form level in the US it's being taught at 9th grade level.
Feel like Lothan Cousins is owed an apology still because everything that man said, if it wasn’t true before now, has been playing out before our very eyes on this here bird app!
Aww it's the rangers rejoicing over the nurse protests in Barbados...
But where were they when the Jamaican Rank and file Police were infront the Supreme Court protesting for wages.
Something has got to be done about these male political figures who, when under pressure, resort to this level of abuse and diatribe against women.
The irony is, they are fathers of daughters, husbands to wives, sons of mothers... 🤨🤨🤨
I’m sore sorry but I wasn’t gonna meet you on no tarmac to give you an update about nothing, PM.
You have an office. Hell, the ride to your office from the airport would show you some of the damage done while giving you the update.
Upon my return home tonight, I was met and updated on the impact of the recent weather event, by Stephen Shaw, Manager of Communication and Customer Services at the National Works Agency.
