Life really is the longest thing you'll do. It's the only real opportunity for you to be the best you can be. I think that's the most important thing you can teach your children. Be the best you can be, whatever it is you can be or do. Do you. Be you. The best you, you can be.

Persons should bloom and blossom as the clock ticks. The arrow of time should give you the grace to grow. My wife, the most stunning flower, the best mother, the greatest partner, has grown and bloomed and flourished in this new chapter of our life. Happy mother's day, my Love.

So much what-about-ism...very little actual debate or critical thinking.

I don’t like the narrative that the JUTC is “bleeding”.

The primary goal of JUTC is to serve people, not generate revenue.

There are certain rights I believe citizens should be afforded by their government and one is an affordable and accessible transportation system.

Working in health protection in 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 made me realise that people can run their mouths about every other thing about healthcare in 🇯🇲 BUT our immunisation programme is not one of them. Our childhood immunisation programme is one of the best.

#Jamaica 🇯🇲 The LARGEST known medical data breach happened in Jamaica's history and 3 months later, neither JaCIRT, the OIC, the medical Association nor the JCF have informed the public.

Several persons have asked how they can assist financially & so we (w/the help of some of his closest friends) have launched a GoFundMe for the ease of our international friends.

There's absolutely no good reason for people to be starting a work meeting with prayers

[Lisa Hanna™️ @LisaHannamp]

Imagine landing a coveted job with one of the most prestigious companies in your country without having to do a job interview or public screening process —one of the main qualifying criteria - is consistent and active loyalty to the brand or the size of your political contribution.

Becoming the Chairman of a public agency or government board lies in the hands of the Government Minister in charge of that agency of the ‘say so’ of the PM and Cabinet.

There is no public scrutiny, objective criteria, or parliamentary committee screening.

When I first became a Cabinet Minister and was naive to the process that in politics, ‘loyalty trumps competence.’ I figured that persons with years of experience running profitable corporations successfully would understand the importance of efficiency, innovation, and best management practices to get things done and move agencies in the right direction.

How wrong I was.

“Lisa, don’t you know he is a Labourite?”

For this financial year, the MOF expects 53 Public Bodies to realize revenue of approx. $646.21 billion representing 48% of the national budget of $1.34 trillion; expected to spend $96.44 billion on capital expenditure.

If the National Housing Trust Board has not been meeting its mandate, who will hold it and others accountable?

Is the public expected to wait for the Minister to question and terminate the board?

I believe HEART and NHT, which receive billions of tax dollars directly from the public to fund their programmes and infrastructure to improve Jamaicans’ lives, must have governing heads of boards and members who go through a public vetting process rather than only being Ministerial appointees to be approved by Cabinet.

Additionally, the boards’ performance should be evaluated every 2 years against their targets for the public and parliament.

It’s time to demand more public accountability from our leaders. Both political parties have been guilty of tribal nepotism for too long, which has only stagnated long-term economic growth, education, and the quality of life for our people.

If there's one thing I'm absolutely grateful for, it's having met my wife. She adds so much to me and my life and my entire existence.
