@Mikkie_J Yes but so many of JLP MPs had nutten fi seh.

Robust debate. Won’t comment on specific amendments now. Just to say, the contributions of the leader of the opposition and MP Malahoo-Forte were commendable.

@cardobrooks But, how is it that the Opposition and MMF had so many amendments and the JLP members didn't say anything.

@cardobrooks Finally! They did what they we pay them to do.

@ThompsonCanute Actually it does not suggest that something is fundamentally wrong. It does not even suggest that something was wrong. To take this position... You would also have to accept that if 28 groups agreed with it, it would mean that we would have to accept that it is good too

One of the principles of wise leadership is respect for collective wisdom. If 28 groups had issues with the Bill, does this not suggest something was fundamentally requiring attention. Wouldn't a joint select committee show regard for the public's will? jamaica-gleaner.com/article/news/2…

@Mikkie_J @TruthLawOrder Yes it was... We witnessed what it should be like

@damionude I found your presentation very informative and revealing... At sometimes I say that you speak like someone who went to Manning's School. Well done yesterday... I saw the Westmoreland tutelage shining thru yesterday.

I have to commend the Speaker of the house for her steady and firm hand in Parliament.

Will NaRRA be another FINSAC 🤔 As said by former MP Rev Thwaites, FINSAC was greatest the transfer of wealth from the poor to the rich. History will reveal if NaRRA will be JLP's tool of prosperity or JLP's FINSAC.

@damionude is presenting in Parliament like he went to Manning's

Re-engage stakeholders about the proposed National Reconstruction and Resilience Authority, NaRRA, legislation. That's the call from a group of 28 civil society organisations and individuals amid growing unease about the legislation. READ MORE HERE: ow.ly/5KM950YQRHs

PM @AndrewHolnessJM don't meck them fool yuh and teck yuh money. The items are openly being sold in the stores They only need to go to the stores seize the items, charge the store operators and check their importation paperwork This ah bat-up and catch... Wi nuh need nuh drone

@JamaicaGleaner @TheAmbitousOne Why dont they just go into the stores seize the goods, charge the operators and get the name of the importers from the shipping documents. I don't get it... The goods are openly being stores.

Jamaica Customs Agency is considering setting up a dedicated drone unit to patrol the island’s ports and coastline amid the country losing more than $26 billion annually in tax and excise revenue to illicit trade. Read more: jamaica-gleaner.com/article/busine…

@julietcuthbert @adgjones @101Austind @5Solae @patrioticjam @davidmullings Let me also add, if wasn't for Peter Phillips and Nigel Clarke, Jamaica would still be in the position that it was then. Both men had the courage to take unpopular decisions which wasn't supported by the nation and their party. Like Marlene, they weren't afraid to stand alone.

@julietcuthbert @adgjones @101Austind @5Solae @patrioticjam @davidmullings The difficulty of the job is of no moment... If he or the party wasn't up to task then resign or call an election. It is even more difficult now than then. Shaw & Bruce was elevated above their level of competence.

I readily admit that I never thought that I would repeatedly see the Jamaican dollar weakened and strengthen repeatedly against the US dollar in my lifetime after being born in 1981 and tracking the escalating price of a beef patty since I left high school on 1996. Jamaica has become a true case study of fiscal management after a crisis. Not even Greece has this track record. Thank you Dr. Peter Phillips and Dr. Nigel Clarke.

@emilymshields it would be great if you post what you said at the start of Friday's show. Thanks.

On a different note... How will this affect us when wi pass thru the metal detectah ah airport. A pure beep wi ah beep, as wi full ah metal.

@djmillerJA @DamionMitch @emilymshields @cliffnationwide @geordavis Sugar is used in baby food and many other food items. The government and regulators are silent on this. Could you please enquire for us. Please and thanks

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…
