@JamaicaObserver The MoH/Public Service authorities, & the union UTASP must speed up the investigation, stabilise leadership arrangements, protect staff safety, & give timeframe for decisions to restore trust before patient care & services are further affected. @UTASP_JA @themohwgovjm

@JamaicaGleaner Jamaica’s foreign policy is weak where it matters most: no clear explanation of what the country is trying to achieve. It remains dependent on tourism, remittances, and foreign rules, underuses CARICOM and the diaspora, and sells climate justice as aid seeking.

@JamaicaGleaner Saying #Jonkunnu “is dead” in Moore Town misses the bigger picture.

The tradition is being revived and celebrated in other parts of Jamaica.

Calling it lost ignores efforts to keep Maroon culture alive.

@JamaicaGleaner Recent efforts are reviving and showcasing #Jonkunnu traditions.

At the Dec 2025 ArtWalk Festival in downtown Kingston, a Jonkunnu band performed, celebrating this historic masquerade.

@JamaicaGleaner WPM is cleaning illegal dumps in Westmoreland, but the Municipal Corporation must enforce anti-dumping laws: patrol hotspots, fine offenders, provide legal disposal options, and educate communities.

Without enforcement, debris will keep piling up.

@JamaicaGleaner Calling for ethical living is fine, but without holding leaders accountable, citizens end up carrying systemic burdens like poverty, disaster recovery gaps, and weak governance.

Personal ethics alone can’t fix structural problems.

@JamaicaObserver The article reveals a deeper issue: cash flow problems forced Hanover municipal to rely on private donors for a basic civic activity.

The reliance on donors to finance public functions exposes broader structural weaknesses in @LocalGovJa government funding. #MunicipalFinance

@JamaicaObserver When an elected official admits to “serious financial challenges,” the public is entitled to ask why those challenges exist, & what steps are being taken to address them.

@LocalGovJa what’s being done to fix the Hanover municipal Corporation finances? @ https://t.co/8I9AOemEr6

@JamaicaObserver Teachers are helping students pay CXC fees after Hurricane Melissa, a lifesaver. Without this support, many can’t sit exams.

@MOEYJamaica lack emergency funds & resources, leaving schools dependent on NGOs, charities, and donations. @fayvalwilliams @IamDanaDixon @UNICEFJamaica

@JamaicaGleaner Donations like 1,440 scrubs for Cornwall Regional Hospital are welcome, but they highlight systemic gaps in Jamaica’s healthcare.

@themohwgovjm reliance on charity & foreign support shows hospitals still struggle with damage, understaffing, & overstretched resources. #Healthcare

@JamaicaGleaner 1,440 scrubs donated to Cornwall Regional Hospital is a lifesaver for staff still reeling from Hurricane Melissa. Welcome aid, but highlights Jamaica’s healthcare system reliance on charity & external support. @themohwgovjm

@Jr_841 @JamaicaGleaner The Fire Brigade can put out the flames addresses a symptom, not the cause.

The real issue is that residents have had no reliable access to drinking water for months, despite paying bills and repeatedly asking for help.

@JamaicaGleaner Donations and equipment help, but the slow debris clean up exposes Jamaica’s weak disaster response systems.

The Government must shift from reactive fixes to sustained investment in infrastructure, planning, and capacity to handle future extreme weather.

@JamaicaGleaner A stark reminder: even with 10 tipper trucks donated by China, debris removal is slow, and NSWMA remains under resourced.

The government’s dependence on foreign aid exposes weak local disaster preparedness and limited capacity.
