Dear Editor,
I see where the National Housing Trust (NHT) is still to appoint three board members. I would like to put myself up as a prospect for one of the positions.
I don't have a degree or a PhD, but what I do have is 13 years of experience as a security officer.
I believe the security sector is the second largest workforce, behind the public sector. It is also a group that is not represented on the NHT board and is not represented by a trade union. And every security officer in Jamaica has NHT contributions deducted from his/her pay every fortnight.
I have never heard of any NHT houses being built for security officers or there being any special loans for us. Many security officers can't and will never benefit from the NHT on the regular bases.
Madam Prime Minister, put someone on the NHT board who is and understands the common man and can look out for their interest.
