I think it’s an appropriate time for the Gleaner to change its name to the Cleaner. The @JamaicaGleaner died years ago.

@JamaicaGleaner Even when the company is going under and can't even meet monthly obligations to pay its workers salaries,They are still practicing partisan politics, Look at the disgrace ABB brought onto herself and her party the PNP last night, And is wasn't enough to make the headlines?

Wednesday's front page of The Gleaner. Pick up a copy or read online: jamaica-gleaner.com

@hall_oneil Couldn't be the Jamaican Parliament you were watching, Or maybe you were intoxicated. Lol

I’ve been watching Parliament, and since 2016 JLP members have consistently bullied PNP representatives. It sends the message that the citizens who elected the PNP have no voice. Constant disruptions and aggression only fuel division and standoffs. Jamaica. PNP should stand firm

@MsDadrian Always looking beautiful 😍

@jayjaybrown97 @INDECOM_JAMAICA Good question.

Can Indecom @INDECOM_JAMAICA say based on their investigation over the last 10 years . What % of police fatal shootings hsve been found to be unlawful/unjustified. We need to work with data not gut feeling or raw emotions. Indecom please provide these numbers to the public

@duttylaborite @jayjaybrown97 @5StarSuit Argument done!!

@jayjaybrown97 @5StarSuit IT COULD BE 100,000 A DEM WE GOING PASS THIS NAARA BILL

Quickly pass the bill with most critical issues addressed. Get moving ! Time Come

@JamaicaGleaner Now that these twenty eight civil society groups have finally came out from hibernation,Could someone please ask them what is their opinions,comments on the JACDEN CORRUPTION SCANDAL, INVOLVING MP DENNIS GORDON, UHWI TAX WAIVER For Medical equipment.

Twenty-eight civil society groups and individuals are calling for immediate convening of a multi-stakeholder dialogue on the NaRRA Bill, which seeks to establish the agency that will lead Jamaica’s post-hurricane recovery. Read more: jamaica-gleaner.com/article/news/2…

@CodyBlacksheep Actually, I wasn't speaking of labourers, I was really speaking about Tradesmen, Masons Contracted to lay blocks, I personally know several of them that does this for a living, It also depends on where the work is being done,Uptown, downtown Portmore etc.

@_kajima__ lol I’ve owned a construction company for 10 years. There’s nobody paying those rates for laying blocks. If they’re actually building then they get a project rate which they pay a labour team under them unless u pay the labourers and subtract that from their own pay.

Holness told contractors to “invest in yourselves” at a groundbreaking: built by a Chinese company. Where is the investment in the skilled workforce we need to compete? My company is building in St Mary. The erosion is real. Fix the pipeline before you blame the contractors.

@JAForJustice The JFJ pointed out that last year 2025 the number of police killings stood at 311,The highest in over 15 years, What they failed to point out,Was that in 2025 the murder rate was half of what it was 15 years ago, That figure being 1499, Last year it was over 700.

111 people killed by security forces in just 116 days. That’s 5 more than the same period last year. 2025 ended with 311 fatalities — the highest total in nearly 15 years. When planned operations make up 50% of these deaths, the question remains loud and clear: Where are the body-worn cameras in these operations? Transparency cannot be optional. BWCs protect both officers and citizens.

@CodyBlacksheep It's quite obvious that you are ignorant about the topic you're trying to speak on, Suggesting that trades not paying competitive, You what is the market rate for laying 100 concrete blocks? Anywhere from 20 to 30 thousand dollars or more, A mason can lay up to 300 blocks per day

@_kajima__ Agreed, free access is a good step. But enrollment today doesn’t solve my labour shortage tomorrow. And if trades paid competitively and had proper career progression, you wouldn’t need to make it free to attract people. The pipeline problem starts before HEART and ends after it.

@JAForJustice Many of us Jamaicans were anticipating this release, statement from you people, we knew it would come, Was only a matter of when. As long as the PNP opposes it,we can be sure you'll come out and do the same, When the involves the PNP, Members, Wow, Deafening Silence from you guys

Civil society is raising serious concerns about the NaRRA Bill currently before Parliament. 28 organisations and individuals have flagged major gaps in transparency, accountability, and public participation. We are calling for meaningful engagement: ✔️ A genuine multi-stakeholder dialogue ✔️ Acceptance of written submissions within 2 weeks ✔️ Structured discussions to address key concerns If this does not happen, a time-bound Joint Select Committee is needed. Yes, Jamaica must act quickly to rebuild after Hurricane Melissa — but speed cannot come at the expense of good governance, environmental protection, and public trust. This legislation will shape our future. It must be done right.

@JamaicaGleaner Wonder if Las May would put out a cartoon, depicting the expression on the worker's faces, After being told that they have to wait another extra week to get their month end salaries.

Today's #LasMay editorial cartoon. See more cartoons: jamaica-gleaner.com/cartoon

@darnells_j This is nothing compared to what went on there during the eighteen and a half years of then PNP administration, The AG found that millions of dollars were paid out by NSWMA for delivery of garbage to the dump by trucks, The AG found that the plates were for, BENZ, PRADOS,PAJEROS

The only qualification needed to work with these state agencies is being a labourite or one of their concubines.

@PeterNRob @JamaicaGleaner Well said 👏

@JamaicaGleaner Civil Society thought they are elected wanting to be king maker to call and uncalled shots. All of them and you can go form a party. And run the country how you want. But days of making king and dictate to gov and police who must wear camera is over!!!

Because he knows better, this newspaper is repeatedly taken aback by Horace Chang’s demonisation of civil society and other organisations that insist on accountability by the police. Read more: jamaica-gleaner.com/article/commen…

@likle_wiked @JamaicaGleaner @HoraceChangJM Don't be fooled, Those footages are edited to give a movie like effect, Saw what happened the other day with that botched rescue, What happens in Hollywood is not necessarily what happens in reality.

@JamaicaGleaner Clearly Dr @HoraceChangJM has never seen footage from BWCs worn by the very elite Seal Team 6 on their "planned operations". Or, let us just conclude, Dr Chang by his logic is totally against accountability and transparency. #TalkTheTruth

@ibkontehja Absolutely!

There has never nor will there ever be another Michael Jackson.

@Gracehuldah Go and do your research and stop spreading propaganda.

Dr Chang will go down in history as the security minister that presides over the most extra-judicial killings by police. That will be a major blow for him. I can't recall seeing this type of police killings in my lifetime in JA . With all of this, he wants no cameras worn on opr

There are three requirements to join any civil society groups in Jamaica. 1. The person must Possesses deep rooted hypocrisy. 2. They must be totally bad mind. And 3. They must be a member/supporter of the PNP.

@gavinmyaz Facts have no friends, Bro .

@_kajima__ Hear wha, gwaan pree whatever you want. Nothing worse dan ah reason when smaddy ah try feign ignorance or a pretend.

When SEAL Team 6 went after bin Laden, they wore BWCs. BWC are standard across many NATO military operations, and on some UN ones too. Pardon me if I believe what you imply: there cant be video evidence of state sponsored murders
