  • @riptonreid8707

    I truly hope all of Portmore would use the Mandela Highway and every motorist coming from the Mandeville and Kingston ends, use the original road through Old Harbour. Only then a serious message would reach the people we want to hear our voices. I saw unity works once before when there was a gas price increase and all across Jamaica roads were blocked and in some areas the roads were even destroyed by fire. The price increase was eventually rolled back and a similar action would be really appreciated for the increases of the toll roads.

You cannot find medics during the week, Jamaicans wait in Hospital for HOURS, they pack up the hospitals on a Sunday to get the overtime and double. GET RID OF THEM ALL. Jamaica need options. They cry saying the minister is doing the wrong thing, he actually is doing something right. Full time this issue need to be dealt with.

Ideally, medical staff should not be imported while staff in the country are underpaid and under appreciated, but the exodus for better has already began and the patients cannot be left unattended. They need to address the immediate need whilst compensating the dedicated staff who have remained. This is a dire and alarming situation.

While ALL jobs in Jamaica make 50% less than the international rate of the equal position of other countries. It is funny is mostly older people talk about die-hard PNP or JLP.
