Sack the boy; run-weh the 'random' little miss ; let them remain sacked in their sack — and let this be a warning: public office is not a cloak for brass-faced slackness and ministerial duplicity. I know what Uncle Eddy would have shrugged and said: "Yuh gats to do what yuh gats to do, Bro."...

Barracuda often accumulate ciguatoxins in their flesh by eating smaller reef fish that have fed on toxic algae (Gambierdiscus species). Gastrointestinal, neurological, cardiovascular and other chronic symptoms usually appear within a few hours of eating the fish and can last for days, weeks, or even months.

The space for error has collapsed to near zero, while the space for potent, paralysing criticism has expanded outside of Gordon House to fill the vacuum. You are not so much a sun around which the political system orbits, but a star in a delicate binary system, acutely aware of the opposing pull and the immense empty spaces surrounding you.

Behind the neat rows of school timetables lies harmful buffoonery, where pools-timetabling locks children’s dreams into cages and wastes...

For decades, our health system benefited from physicians trained in Burma, Cuba, Czechoslovakia, Egypt, Ghana, Hungary, India, Latin America, Nigeria, Russia, the UK, and the United States. Their children sat in our classrooms and their parents were among the most trusted doctors of our families. No one questioned their competence. Why then the sudden disdain for Jamaican youngsters graduating with Chinese diplomas? Is it because they did not enter medical school with enough

Grace and peace to you. I am writing to commend you on your excellent report of 20 September on Glenmuir High School’s valedictorian, Ms. Raine Cooper.

A run-on sentence occurs when two or more independent clauses (complete thoughts) are joined together improperly—without correct...

We are, in so many ways, an outwardly looking musical nation; for our media to pretend otherwise is an abdication of leadership and imagination.

In every Caribbean household there is a container of mixed nuts, often presented to visitors at Christmas or stashed away for special occasions. The contents are never uniform. Some nuts are large, others small; some have shells that are stubbornly hard, others crack easily. Yet, taken together, they offer flavour, variety, and nourishment. So it is with the Caribbean’s young people, particularly in A-QuEST princelings and doclings of Jamaica.

Fairness, clarity, and global comparability—principals are urged to adopt A-QuEST’s Concordance to better represent student achievement.

A hypothetical government programme to install a minimum capacity of 150 Mbps download and 50 Mbps upload speeds in every Jamaican household would not be a mere infrastructure upgrade; it would be the foundational act of a profound national transformation, catalysing economic growth, social equity, and democratic renewal. High-speed, reliable internet is the central nervous system of modern commerce. For Jamaica, this would unlock several tiers of economic potential...

We are faced with a dilemma: The Integrity Commission had gone on record saying that there are at least eight current parliamentarians whose statutory declarations have not been certified. How, then, can the electorate go to the polls to vote intelligently and with a clear conscience on current members on both political sides without knowing their honesty and financial status? It’s like “ buying puss in bag!” Such a dilemma could be one of the reasons for apathy among most of

Current polling predicts yet another cycle of low voter turnout. This persistent reluctance to participate in the democratic process stems, in large part, from widespread distrust of politics and politicians. Unless the electorate is given fresh, practical incentives to turn out and vote—for whichever party they choose—this apathy will endure...Read more

This confusion between ambition and greed is not unique to Jamaica. It is a regional affliction — and a regional danger. Renowned political psychologist Robert Hare, in his work on psychopathy in leadership, notes how a lack of empathy and a focus on self-gain can manifest in public life, with devastating consequences for the general populace. He could well have been describing the scenarios we see today. In Guyana, oil wealth is already pooling in elite accounts even as m

I have heard and read some idiotic arguments and responses to the call for accountability for egregious behaviour which enriches...

Greed Mangles Nations; Ambition Shepherds a People Across time and place—from exemplary American presidencies to the bedrock of Singapore’s rise—thought-leaders and statesmen have recognised a potent truth: greed corrodes, but ambition, tempered by integrity, builds. As we reflect on Jamaica today—and indeed across CARICOM—we must confront a sobering transformation...Read More

In the past few years, Jamaica has received small open sailboats from Haiti, usually carrying fewer than 60 passengers—men, women, and children—fleeing from untenable social, economic, political, health, security, and educational conditions. Their vessels are often perilously unseaworthy, their journeys a testament to desperation rather than adventure. Our response as a state has, too often, been bureaucratic, transactional, and distant—characterised by military boots and
