Jamaica Gleaner Letters
published: Thursday | August 16, 2007

LETTER OF THE DAY - What 'free education' really means
THE EDITOR, Sir: EDUCATION HAS been dominating the news and rightly so, in light of its seminal importance to any nation. However, to speak of 'free education' in the context of Jamaica's present financial situation, is to render the expression an oxymoron...

Life will go on

THE EDITOR, Sir: FOUR YEARS ago, a friend whom I consider to be like the Gestapo, Interpol and the CIA rolled into one, came to Jamaica, visited me and advised that the Jamaican dollar was headed for the $100 to US$1.

Time to review dual citizenship

THE EDITOR, Sir: I SUGGEST that the legal luminaries in our midst take time to consider the law permitting dual citizenship. This seems to mean that Jamaica does not recognise a statement of renunciation of Jamaican nationality made in America by a Jamaican citizen.

PM shone brightly

THE EDITOR, Sir: ON BEHALF of the women who prayed for our Prime Minister, Mrs. Portia Simpson Miller, before she began the debate, I wish to record my thanks to God that as he had promised, she did surprise me (pleasantly) and many more of us.
