Dear Editor,
Isn't it clear Carlton Davis and the prime minister are still taking Jamaican people for idiots? They failed to understand that some people were born at night, but not everyone was born last night.
I came to this conclusion after reading the article entitled, "Why the PM has to travel". Trust me, I would be angry if our PM sits home and doesn't travel. We want her to go out there and make us proud. But going out there and keeping people in the dark is not going to sit well with people who are hungry for information.
Davis wrote: "...Whilst in our own case here, Jamaica is indeed an island, it is not one entirely of itself. It must, as a matter of good sense, keep in touch with the outside world to further its social, economic and political objectives, some of which may not be realisable in the short term." This is saying nothing. Jamaica people are angry not because our prime minister is travelling, we are angry because she is giving us the impression that she doesn't seems to know what is happening in the country she was elected run.
Take for example, she travelled to pay her respects to the late Nelson Mandela in South Africa, which to me is justifiable, but not speaking up on the amount of people murdered in her own country in one week or two is idiocy.
The other thing that got the Jamaican people riled up is the amount of people making the trip with the PM. Jamaica is too poor for that amount of people to travel to Japan, China, Africa, and Europe.
I hope Dr Davis doesn't sit there thinking Jamaican people are mean, because only recently Australia's PM clamped down on travelling and the citizens of India are at loggerhead with their PM's 67 foreign trips between 2004 and April 2013.
Why shouldn't taxpayers be concerned with this constant travelling? Despite all these travels, Jamaica is still dirt poor. Our dollar is sliding like hot lava. The Jamaican people want to know the benefits for these travels. Can the PM tell us what she has brought to Jamaica form these trips? Has the country participated in any new joint venture from the PM's tours of foreign countries? The PM needs to declare all the details to the Jamaican people about her accomplishments.
PM, keeping schtum and thinking that people will forget your many travels without any real benefits will backfire in your face. Mark my words.
