Public discourse feels dominated by extremes now more than ever with persons in the middle (or who are totally unrelated) getting caught in the crosshairs. People arent responding directly to each other anymore. In some cases Im not even sure people know what theyre responding to
1/Congratulations to the Integrity Commission on its Special Report on Public Procurement. It is a data-rich piece of work and a reasonable analysis of where our system stands. It deserves serious attention from law makers, policymakers, practitioners and academics 🧵
6/Finally, the data and the analysis stop at award. Value for money is won or lost in delivery through actual observations on overruns, quality and completion. We have to examine whether contracts are delivering the promised value and whether the system is …

Actually the creation of proprietary rights is exempt procurement so that no particular procedure would bite. However, it’s not accurate to say there’s an absence of procurement rules re NaRRA. NaRRA is a public body and is subject to the PPA 2015.
It’s amazing how in this country everybody thinks everybody else is an idiot lol. Mind blowing.

In this Agency Spotlight, we take a closer look at the work of the National Land Agency and what Jamaicans should know before buying or claiming land.
With 40% of Jamaica’s land parcels still unregistered, I want Jamaicans to understand the importance of proper documentation and having a registered title. Before you make a land purchase, get advice from a competent attorney, verify ownership and ensure the property is properly surveyed.
Take your time, ask questions and protect your investment. Your land is valuable, and securing it properly should be taken seriously.
Visit the National Land Agency for guidance on your land matters.
Well, I never! Person behind this account might try to learn something before spewing this hateful drivel. These are the attitudes that reinforce the systemic inequality that keeps us back. We really hate each other eno.
And rightly so. They really were repugnant
The government is condemning comments by Opposition Spokesman on Human Rights, Isat Buchanan, encouraging Jamaicans unaffected by the demolition in Coopers Pen, Trelawny to pretend they are affected to receive taxpayer-funded housing.

Feel the Senator’s pain. Sometimes there’s just no excuse for not getting something done in reasonable time. Public service is so consequential. Lives depend on its efficient and effective functioning.
Why is it that I am constrained to call out the ineptitude of public servants in a Ministry because I am a government senator?? Do not come back with I must go call out my government members. I am talking about a specific matter where the people of Jamaica are being disenfranchised because specific personnel in a ministry refuse to do their work & the Minister apparently has no power to move them to do it. Guide me please. You too please God!

But unless I’m wrong the British also did more than any other country to institutionalise and increase the horror of slavery. So I’m not sure the point you’re trying to make here ma’am.
This is awful.
What about Wilberforce? What about the West African Squadron? The British did more than any other country to ABOLISH slavery.
Stop virtue-signalling and focus on repairing the crumbling churches, reviving your congregations and providing Christian leadership for this country.
Do your job!

Aside from developing the necessary built infrastructure, making urban spaces more walkable should also be accompanied by an increase in foliage cover. Walking regularly in a temperate climate versus a tropical one are two vastly different experiences.

In addition to the obvious integrity issues, the high single source volume is also transactionally inefficient. It increases administrative burden so that any time gains are overtaken by downstream chaos. These are the challenges in the system. Not the rules.
