Politics versus information

THE EDITOR, Sir:

WHILE LISTENING to MP Colin Campbell on the Breakfast Club talk show on Friday morning 14 December 2001, I wondered if he is Minister of Information or Propaganda.

The topic of discussion was about the $180 million of the Jamaican people's money lent to a so-called foreign company so as to create jobs but the company has gone bankrupt.

Colin Campbell tried to have the panel discussion come to believe that documents were purloined so as to divert attention from the chronic mismanagement by his government and Minister Paulwell. He tried to put some blame on the Opposition JLP for the fiasco. When asked which documents were purloined, he said he did not know but he knows who did it.

What grassroots people want to know and need to know is ­ when it has become politics for seeking out how tax-payers money is being spent and given away? Then the Minister must come with facts. Neither is it politics if or when the Opposition seeks out the truth so that the people may understand and know what is going on in their country and most of all how their tax dollars are being spent.

I am, etc.,

ROBERT S. HENRY

Spanish Town P.O.
