'Stopping the roadwork won't help'

THE EDITOR, Sir:
AT THE very least, some number of Jamaicans must have heard a caller telling Mr. Perkins that murder is a part of politics in Jamaica. Why then have the authorities put a halt to the roadwork in Temple Hall, St. Andrew?
Don't you know that roadwork in Jamaica is highly charged with politics?
Stopping the roadwork isn't going to help! In order that murders cease to be a part of politics, those administering politics, (from grass-root group organisers to high officials like opposition leaders and prime ministers), must rise to becoming statesmen-like political practitioners. Do we have any such?
