Dear Editor,
I don’t know about anybody else, but I lose about five seconds of sleep each night thinking about the financial affairs of our political leaders.
Firstly, I don’t honestly think that, apart from Julian Robinson, they will ever tell us the whole story. Secondly, I have reached the point where I do not care — unless it happened— if any of them enriched themselves from State funds.
But, even if State funds or other questionable sources of funds were involved, because of the nature of our society where everyone covers for everyone else (especially in their own political party), we will never get to all the details.
Having lived in Canada for several years, there is one thing I am certain of: Many of Jamaica’s public officials who live the lifestyles they do, while reporting questionable net worth, would have some hard questions to answer. They may even be provided with State accommodations.
