Golding for leadership
published: Tuesday | May 9, 2006

THE EDITOR, Sir:

I HAVE long seen Mr. Bruce Golding as the person best able to correct the corruption we have in this country and after listening to his budget debate speech I have labelled him "the corruption corrector".

Please Jamaicans open your eyes and look at the latest thing that Mr. Omar Davies is doing to us. He told the City of Kingston Co-operative Credit Union's 39th Annual General Meeting at the Hilton Kingston Hotel over the weekend that the Jamaican people are one of the most heavily taxed in the world. Unbelievable coming from Mr. Davies but why this admission because he wants to enact laws to give him the power to transfer money from the NIS and Housing Trust. In a short while, we could hear that there is no money to pay the little pensions or to lend to build houses. We need the "correction corrector" to prevent this from happening.

For years now, I have heard Mr. Golding say, "we will not stop until some of these persons involved in corruption are behind bars, wearing short trousers, it is the only way this corruption can be brought under control". The only way this can be done, is by giving the corrector the power to carry out the things he has been saying and lift the weight of corruption from off our shoulders, therefore, freeing up our taxes to be used for productive purposes.

I am, etc.,
