This could be provided to a reliable person associated with the Gleaner for publication. The Jamaican people would then be able to believe you; but again, we may find out more than you bargain--won't we. </p>dropponWed, 26 May 2010 16:24:03 -0000http://www.jamaica-gleaner.com/gleaner/20100524/news/news3.html#comment-51697239<p>John Rapley is off the charts; Bruce maybe able to rebuild but it will never be as an effective Prime Minister of Jamaica. Prof. Meeks and Girvan comments address the reality of the situation. Neither of the political parties fully understand what accountablity and tranparency means in this information age. Secondly, this is far from over, all has not been uncovered regarding the Manatt situation, while the Dudus affair is just beginning to unfold.</p>dropponMon, 24 May 2010 10:29:35 -0000http://jamaica-gleaner.com/gleaner/20100523/cleisure/cleisure3.html#comment-51658311<p>Excellent article which reinforces the fact that Mr. Golding must go.

He undermined the Jamaican Government's raltionship with the United States by trying to misrepresent his position as the JLP party and not the administration whichare the same entity.

Now, you may say considering the economic times there maybe an ethical view to cooperate and reach some agreement to reduce or defer various aspects of the contract. However, the party reqeusting such adjustments must realize they are not in the strongest of positions and therefore should approach the situation very carefully. The last time I checked the definition of a contractual agreement had not changed.</p>dropponSun, 22 Nov 2009 11:45:41 -0000http://www.jamaica-gleaner.com/gleaner/20091122/lead/lead4.html#comment-23775750<p>Time as a way of answering some of the diffult questions we have face, and one has to wonder if we are now getting a better understanding as to why Mr. Seaga had reservations about the current Prime Minister's abilities years ago. Talking the talk is the old politics of yester year, today requires you to awalk that talk and demonstrate results through actions. The world is a different place today, econmoic problems cannot be ignored else investors will walk. </p>dropponSat, 21 Nov 2009 22:56:53 -0000
