Dear Editor,
Both Mr Daryl Vaz and Mr Damion Crawford are under fire from fellow Jamaicans because both dared to speak a truth which no one seems to want to hear.
Mr Vaz had the audacity, it seems, to suggest that the jlp is in need of help, and Mr Crawford had the audacity, it seems, to suggest that Jamaicans should migrate and seek better jobs in other countries and send home the money through remittances in order to help Jamaica.
Both men spoke a truth which the diehard supporters from either side do not wish to hear. They have grown so accustomed to lies and empty promises that even when the truth is staring them right in the face they choose to deny it.
Even the blind can see that the JLP is in need of serious help as the leader does not seem to know where he is going, much like the one from the PNP who claims to be leading now. How quickly those who support the JLP seem to forget the cries of "Call it, Andrew, call it", and the outcome after the election.
There are those who wish to silence people when they speak. Well, those who can think for themselves and are not easily led can see that all is not as kosher in the JLP as some would want us to believe.
Now, when the junior minister in the PNP Government can say that Jamaicans need to migrate to seek better jobs, that is an indication that this present Gov't is not doing well either, and anyone who denies this fact is lost. But he also spoke the truth, and instead of understanding that truth, he too is under fire for saying it, because according to the tribal laws of politics in 'Jamrock', you dare not speak up or speak out against the party you are affiliated with, because as far as some Jamaicans are concerned, that is treason.
See how sad as a people we really are? That even when the truth is spoken we put party first.
I say to both Mr Vaz and Mr Crawford, speak your truths, no matter the cost; those who wish to hear will hear. Those who continue to deny it in the face of love for politician and political party do so to the detriment of both people and country.
