  1. Peaceful organized protest all over the country is needed to hold both parties accountable.

    1. Where possible diaspora should also fly in and lend their support, we need this to go wide and make this govt know we mean business.

    2. Here is your chance to get involved-On WEDNESDAY (24/05/2023) 9am -2pm there will be another public protest at the MINISTRY OF FINANCE at Heroes Circle against the recent wage increase that the politicians give themselves.

  2. Until we eliminate academic dishonesty in our society, academia will be unable to lead us out of this quagmire. The bottom line is that no company that wants to stay in business pays salaries that exceed production capacity. And this is precisely the situation in which Jamaica finds itself. Jamaica’s production capacity cannot support first-world salaries, so, like any good business, we must pay the salaries that we can afford rather than the salaries that people desire.

    And saying that issuing job descriptions to politicians will solve all of this is a red herring to make fools happy because, in reality, every politician has a job description, it just happens to be oral; we all know what politicians do, and their job description is meaningless if we cannot stop politicians from buying votes at election time.

    It is foolish for any country to borrow money to pay salaries and interest payments, then pay politicians tens of millions of dollars above our GDP production capacity. As a result, we need our academics to call a spade a spade and stop trying to be politically correct as if they are competing for future government consultancy.

  3. So true Madam moderator.
    Yes Madam, they offer to serve. The decision of those occupants were not pointed out to performance equivalent to pay scale status but, they applied themselves to serve and be accountable. They are public servants. These people who set up that type of entrenchment are fully dunce, and they hope that everyone in the country Jamaica were fully dunce too.

  4. WELL SAID!! They offer to SERVE!! IF THEY WANT TO BE RICH!….THEY SHOULD CHOOSE DIFFERENT PROFESSIONS! JAMAICA NEEDS PATRIOTIC PEOPLE TO LEAD THE COUNTRY. NOT CAPITALIST, THAT SEEKS TO GET RICH AT THE EXPENSE OF CITIZENS. IT IS A DAMN DISGRACE TO SEE THE AUDACITY OF THESE POLITRICKTIONS!!

  5. Congratulations to you Danielle on your new role. Expecting you to offer yourself to serve as well. We need to get rid of all a dem

  6. Well said….We never employed any of them….they offered their services to us. They’re to serve us…..but that has always been the way that these politicians treated us. Like wi nuh count….until election time

  7. On WEDNESDAY (24/05/2023) 9am -2pm there will be another public protest at the MINISTRY OF FINANCE at Heroes Circle against the recent wage increase that the politicians give themselves.

  8. This ‘pay hike’ is not about the opposition. It’s about the massive bite by the government…
