Leader's weakness and a lack of accountability THE EDITOR, Sir: THE RECENT reshuffle of the Cabinet highlights the major problems that is hindering the advancement of this country and its people.

Individuals should be held accountable for failure to perform. Moving such persons to other areas of responsibility is not the answer, especially when it concern the governing of a country in crisis. Until our leaders are held accountable for their deeds or misdeeds, then Jamaica, land we love, will continue in its misery, regardless of which party is in power.
