Sgt Raymond Wilson is out of order and should be fired. There is no other way to express my outrage at a member of the police force who accuse the Government and the prime minister of being responsible for the number of murders per year in Jamaica. Clearly, Mr Wilson is unaware of his role and must be disciplined forthwith
Allow me to respond to the Reverend Devon Dick's article, 'Intolerance of God', published in The Gleaner dated September 2. Rev Dick highlights a number of issues as it relates to religious intolerance and God but deals with them in such a biased and narrow-minded manner that one can only deduce he is advancing a personal agenda.
In November of this year our universities (University of the West Indies, University of Technology, etc) will be graduating thousands of students from their fields of study. What has the Government been doing in anticipation of this? Lest we forget, it was Bruce Golding who had promised jobs and more jobs!
The minister of national security and those supporting more draconian measures to reduce criminality in Jamaica are wasting precious time. The ethos surrounding criminality in Jamaica has its genesis in our slavery past, and the destruction of the Jamaican economy by politicians.
Until Jamaica is willing to arrest and convict senior politicians of BOTH sides of the political divide and senior police officers for involvement in corruption and criminality, including connections with gunmen and with drug traffickers, we will continue to have the problems we have been having.
