GOVERNOR-GENERAL Sir Howard Cooke is urging all Jamaicans to assist in the fight against crime during 2006. Noting that we are living in exciting times with technological advances and the coming of the CSME, the Governor-General lauded the creative and intellectual contri-butions of former Opposition Leader Edward Seaga and prime Minister Patterson to the nation's development.
Opposition Leader Bruce Golding looks back at 2005 as a difficult year in terms of natural disasters, crime and the economy.
"Last month, I announced that Colonel Trevor MacMillan had agreed to head a team that would prepare an action plan to tackle crime, its manifestations as well as its root causes ... In addition to Colonel MacMillan, the team comprises Dr. Henley Morgan, management consultant/public administration specialist, Dr. Anthony Harriott, noted criminologist and lecturer, Marguerite Orane, management consultant, and Peter John Thwaites, insurance executive. They will be joined by a retired senior police officer who will be named shortly." the Opposition Leader's message said.
He said further that the party wishes to lay out a bold, new strategic framework geared toward economic development, creating jobs and expanding opportunities.
