Dear Editor,
I am startled at the will for proper development in this Island. The people in leadership position are not moving to put the nation on the proper track for self-sufficiency. Everyone has positioned themselves to take a big bite of the pie for themselves and no one else to get anything.
Well, I think that I am on to something, and even if this letter is not published there are other ways and means to get the word out. The reality is that the Government of this country (JLP and PNP) has the will to achieve what it wants and currently there seems to be nothing that these people want to achieve after 52 years of Independence but to put themselves, their families and immediate friends in positions for their own benefits.
Well I am taking this opportunity to promote investment in this beautiful country under the banner of Brand Jamaica. There are lots of ideas out there but everyone seems to be holding their cards close to their chest, as it seems that they are waiting for the right time to make their play. Well, now is the time, and I hope to stimulate the will.
It is all good and well to be taking IMF money and have talks and dinners with them. But where is the side of investment and progress? Yes, we have passed their test and we are doing what they are saying but to date how does the small man benefits, the increase of bus fare stares in the face today and no production, no income, amidst all our natural resources — including the best herb (ganja /marijuana) in the whole wide world.
There should be a ministry for Brand Jamaica and a minister dedicated to the cause — production, development and investment. I take this opportunity to call all investors locally and internationally to make use of this wonderful opportunity to invest in Brand Jamaica.
