Looks like Holness if forgetting Politics 101 Jamaican Style

[Muadib]

According to Mr. Holness, increased funding for education would be generated by increasing the efficiency of the Government and cutting the Ministry of Local Government.

Local Government, he said, does not need a central authority in order for it to operate.


The issue is not what makes sense for the country but what is required to ensure victory at the polls. How can he be talking about reducing the size of Government and election coming up ?

They never learn. When they learn to put party before country THEN they can enjoy power.

Jamaica Labour Party (JLP) clarifies free education policy
published: Wednesday | September 20, 2006 <DIV class=KonaBody>



Opposition Spokesman on Education Andrew Holness yesterday moved to clarify the position of the Jamaica Labour Party (JLP) on free education.

He stated that the JLP was not proposing total free education, but rather a tuition-free education.

Speaking at a luncheon hosted by the Rotary Club of St. Andrew at the Jamaica Pegasus hotel, Mr. Holness explained that the fee the JLP referred to was the obligatory Government charge which ranges from $5,500 to $8,500. This fee, he said, should be removed.

"There is no way, shape or form that the Jamaican Government, at this stage of our development as a Third-World country, a developing country, could afford that sort of education (totally free)," Mr. Holness stressed. &gt;&gt;&gt; might as well you sell used cars

The Opposition spokesman also defended statements that the JLP was copying the ruling People's National Party (PNP) by attempting to implement free education by pointing out that the proposal was made by former Prime Minister Sir Alexander Bustamante in 1944.

"The JLP's position is not different now than it was more than 50 years ago, so we are not copying the People's National Party in this instance," he said. &gt;&gt;&gt; Yup at that time 53% of the population was illiterate and I guess you don't plan to change; most pople can see this in the social club.

According to Mr. Holness, increased funding for education would be generated by increasing the efficiency of the Government and cutting the Ministry of Local Government.

Local Government, he said, does not need a central authority in order for it to operate.
