@steveg_mcd@AndrewHolnessJM@Babsy_grange I hear you but that just doesn't jive with Jamaican culture and tradition. Wi luv a likkle pomp and circumstance and EXCITEMENT
@BrayForJade I've been wondering this for quite some time now because I've been seeing reports on this for a FEW YEARS now. I'm shocked it's taken this long to address. But I think it might be that some of the hoteliers that are buying up the beaches are the ones funding politicans ๐คท๐พโโ๏ธ
@kevinobriencha1 I don't think that's the case. I've been hearing about this for a few years now (https://t.co/tGxsRzL7dj) though there is some creative liberty in how some of this is being reported, beach access is an issue that needs addressing
@NestaJA I don't know about any "well funded 'false' campaign" but reports on this issue date bank a FEW YEARS now (https://t.co/tGxsRzLF2R) and the government has made no moves apart from the proposed Beach Access and Management Policy which has gone NOWHERE
@NestaJA@bbem_ja has been on the front lines for years arguing for our beach access rights. I believe the argument arose from their efforts. I don't know why the government has been so slow and silent in ensuring the rights of everyday Jamaicans
@kdb_peak@zillowgonewild "McMechan says she and her husband tried to catch up on the loan with a series of payments, including two personal checks the servicer rejected."
@amlakredsquare@NestaJA@NWA_JA@ksamcorp It would be nice but it's the reality. Main roads are dealt with by central government/NWA, local roads dealt with by Parish Councils/Municipal Corporations. This is why the current government has been pushing for the One Road Authority so it's more streamlined/centralized
@Meyeownboss@Negrilgrown One could argue that the reward is available in the free/having discounted training tracks (HEART) to be certified to do the work needed. Foreign nationals would come in already trained. But I agree in valuing those already here doing a good job accordingly
@iamrachel93_ In all fairness, he was not asked any questions in Parliament. In Parliament, the questions were directed to Minister Chang during the question and answer portion subsequent to a statement by the Minister.
@japphic@TheDevMac876@vaewest A slower paced lifestyle. Lower stress environment. Nature access (beaches, mountains, rivers). Fresh locally sourced foods. Jamaica has a lot to offer, it's just for our people to really see and know and seek to benefit before foreign transplants do but that is already happening
@TLeslie__@BigBattyVulpix As I understand it, the jobs and opportunities are there (and will increase with NaRRA) but we didn't have enough skilled workers to build. That's why government has been pushing HEART
@BigBattyVulpix From my understanding, that's the issue. Homes are being built but not at the rate necessary because we lack the skilled workers needed to build at a rapid pace
