While definitely not a long term solution, the extra policing powers granted under the SOE are making a positive impact. Last year's SOE is credited with decreasing the murder rate alone by 22% in 2018 from 2017.Originally Posted by Highlander
Gansta's Rule !! Thug Life !! Government... Not Working !! Just to say that I was thinking Daily on my recent Trip of all the Bob Marley songs about Government Injustice and Poverty and People on People Crime !! As I listened to back in the Mid / Late Seventies !! Well ... 40 odd years later !! The Whole System is coming Apart... Just So Sad for all the People in Jamaica !! Living in Fear !! It's JamRock Indeed !! My Thoughts and Prayers are with the Jamaican People that are so Special too me . Also I hope the Island Paradise will Prevail in these Troubled Times !! I of course will still return to the Rock .... As it has Special Place in my Heart !!
The assessment above doesn't match the reality for those living here. It doesn't take into account any of the positives happening for Jamaica such as the decrease in crime.
In addition, the Jamaica Stock Exchange (JSE) has been declared the Best Performing Stock Market globally by Bloomberg Businessweek.
And it is likely that we will be out of the IMF agreement later this year.
All major positives!
