I’m so happy that monstrosity of an Apartment complex on Jacks Hill is having difficulty selling. Developers and Government officials need to build for regular Jamaican people.
🚨Ex-UHWI Board Chair Drops the Mic at Today’s PAC Hearing – “Minister Overruled Us” and That’s Why I Quit (This Saga Just Hit the Top Floor)
1/
Jamaica, the UHWI drama is not slowing down – it’s heating up live in Parliament. Today, Tuesday, May 12, former board chairman Wayne Chai Chong finally sat before the Public Accounts Committee and gave his side of the story. And bredrin, it’s straightforward: he resigned in December 2023 because the Health Minister, Dr Christopher Tufton, overruled a board decision to replace the acting CEO at the time, Fitzgerald Mitchell (who has since been confirmed as the full CEO).
Discipline in action. I’m in Barbados 🇧🇧 - the line behind me is longer than what’s ahead of me, yet the turning lane remains empty. What a different Jamaica 🇯🇲 we could have if we could rid ourselves of the absolute indiscipline ruining our island
Since there is almost no enforcement of traffic laws in this wondrous country, taxis can avoid the roads altogether and just drive on the sidewalk. It just keeps, and will keep, getting worse.
It would be absolutely atrocious 👀, if Jamaican people 👀, decided to protest the quality of transportation infrastructure 👀 by refusing to let government cars overtake long lines of traffic during rush hour 👀👀👀
We need over head rails from the clock tower straight up to Papine. And from Dowtown up to Orange street, then crossroads, then HWT road up to clock tower.
The source of the traffic problem is the absence of a system for the mass transit of the majority of commuters. At some point a city has to make a massive investment in either a rail transit system (subway or overhead) or dedicated and enforced bus lanes on wide thoroughfares.
We have a winner! The term ‘perfume’ comes from the Latin ‘per’ (through) ‘fumum’ (smoke) due to the ancient practice of censing the gods and I like that ‘smake’ sounds like ‘smoke,’ preserving that connection.
