    THE ROOT OF OUR PROBLEM








    The motorcades, scrap metal chaos, media concerns of political parties, beheading atrocities are causing many decent citizens to be convinced they are on death row and concerns as to who will be the next victim.
    Those on death row in our prisons enjoy the highest levels of security with utmost certainty that none of them will be next to die, while there are misguided calls for the legalization of prostitution from some quarters, as a solution to the nation’s underproductive economic woes.

    The scrap metal trade and billion dollar thievery associated with it is just a symptom of a wider socioeconomic problem that has unemployment and liberalized criminality, as some of the symptoms.
    Congratulations are appropriate for Minister of Trade and Industry Christopher Tufton for leading the charge for Cabinet’s banning of a parasitic activity because to date it seems like a situation where it is costing the country a dollar to earn 50 cents.
    Good time to ban the trade before you, the minister or me lose our metal gates or the grills on our homes and other buildings. This kind of parasitism emanates from a kind of desperation that needs urgent actions on the economic front.
    A source of income The scrap metal trade, which started, as a cleanup campaign to remove what turned out to be road-blocking utensils became a free for all source of employment and income for many across the nation. It has now reached a point where the appetite for scrap metal has outstripped the supply so they have now turned on the productive sectors costing the country billions and actually throwing people out of jobs creating poorer to be loved.
    The more ruthlessly creative gangs expanding island wide would have soon been demanding extortion fees to make sure your metal property remains intact.
    The real solution to a lot of our problems is jobs, jobs, jobs, which means investments, investments, investments have to be turned up. It cannot be continued taxation through the front door and through the back door as is manifested in every known fee at government agencies.
    The root of our problems lay in the scourge of youth unemployment that has overtaken the country and none of our major political parties including the one in government have meaningful responses that are understood, give the vibes, and generate hope among the masses of their subjects’ island wide.
    Many of our leaders seem to believe that all the people are interested in is a well choreographed speech, song and dance or bus tour topped off with eroticized freeness, allowable levels of thievery, with instant gratification of food, sex, defecation and a grand finale of idlers sleep.
