Put aside partisan politics!

THE EDITOR, Sir:

IN LIGHT of the recent upsurge in violent crime...namely murders and robberies...What is the Government going to tell potential foreign investors? We need foreign exchange now more than before but the present climate does not encourage any prudent investment in the country.

The violence seems to be spreading to rural Jamaica and is even posing a threat to our fragile tourist industry. The cost of security is, next to salary, the biggest expense item for most companies. So how can we encourage investment in such a climate? It is about time we put aside partisan politics and pool our resources for nation building.

Come on, Eddie call the truce...come on P.J. extend the olive branch.

I am etc.,
