  1. Good morning Mrs pm my question to you what are you plan to fixing the crime in Jamaica you have 800× murder in the first 6 months of the year what is your solution???

  2. Mr. PM, I pray for you, the entire leadership and people of Jamaica. At the Jamaica 60th kick off on NYC, you quoted the scripture, “Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord”. I suggest that you echo that loudly in all of your speeches. “Except the Lord build the house, they labour in vain that build it. Except the Lord keep the city, the watchmen waketh, but in vain. Righteous exalts a nation but sin is a reproach to any people”. Start and end with God’s Righteousness in all of your decisions.
    Secondly, everyone who is involved in criminal activities, whether in government, the church, security forces, and in every sector of society should be brought to justice and justice needs to be swift and strong. No exception.
    Thirdly, invest in the development of the young people. Have the leaders going into every community and pursue them by having discussions with them, hear what they have to say, provide the resources and guidance that they need. Give their minds a positive future. Leadership is tough. You are in my prayers 🙏. I don’t know what Bro gad means but I hope that above being Prime Minister, you will serve as a man of God. “To our leaders, Great Defender, grant true wisdom from above”. Jamaica land we love ❤️.

    1. That’s well said, be the leader with true wisdom from above, just take the instructions Mr. Prime Minister .

  3. mr PM I grow up in a peaceful Jamaica in the early part of my life, and I must say it wasn’t bad when I migrating Jamaica so what’s your plan to bring down crime?. back in the days when it comes to independent Christmas Easter every Jamaican that I know including myself want to spend,and celebrate these special moments in Jamaica, now all I see we as Jamaican overseas heading to Jamaica for is funerals. many of us want to return home, but crime and violence won’t allow us it not only sad, but it’s a shame to see what our beautiful island come to.

  4. We struggle because the governments are not creating opportunity for all the people. We then, like this Holness is doing right here on TV, blaming crime. Crime became the problem because government have not created a framework within which people have good choices and can reject breaking the laws.

  5. Jamaicans please ask yourselves is there anything to celebrate and if so what may I ask. Im so ashamed of the state of the country of my birth. Im even trying to change my accent but still treasure my growing up days although we were dirt poor.

  6. A most reactionary and corrupt state of affair exist in Jamaica. It is the government that is the biggest criminals.

  7. WHERE THE TOUGH QUESTIONS??? THE MEDIA PLAYING WID THIS PERSON WE WE WE WE GAVE AN OPPORTUNITY TO BE PM. KMT UNNO NUH SEE OW POOR PROPLE A SUFFA. PLZ UNNO GO TECK A WALK INNA JURASSIC PARK. PLZ PLZ PLZ. PEOPLE A TRULY SUFFA. THE PM BEG DI POST. IM AV IT. FIX DI ISSUES BY ERRING ON THE SIDE OF THE POOR
    .

  8. There is no hope in Jamaica, what kind of hope? The rich is always rich and we who poor still a suffer, everything a raise except salary. People in you country a suffer and a hungry. What hope is there?

  9. I would say we on a whole has failed, because is our own family members are wrecking mayhem in the country

  10. tvj always a joke out the thing a serious time this every opportunity for serious questions and tangible benchmark MUST be pursued what kind of happy go lucky questions.i for one don’t care about domino or ludo when murderers a buss case pon technicality and a get free pass fo do as them please.

  11. Clean up the crime and let the jamaican people’s over seas come and invest back in to Jamaica and build the country

  12. Crime is from the top, we need to pass law that governs politicians and citizens, our police station don’t have computer, so how can solve crime? no accountability we using a black book in a police station.

  13. You know why most Jamaicans will always poor and a suffer we always a look for one person to change things but this is all of us problem and we love too much hand down and free things and when we get little money we think fe go flast and don’t know to invest
