Jamaica Gleaner Commentary
published: Sunday | May 21, 2006

That Justice Sykes' ruling
NOT SURPRISINGLY, one of the most significant rulings by the Jamaican court in recent times has had relatively little public notice.

Fixing the public sector An imperative for the PM
WE HAVE been accustomed from the 1970s to a series of public administration reforms with varying titles such as 'Administrative Reform', 'Public Sector Modernisation', etc.


Portia has her work cut out
NEVER BEFORE have speech writers been so excoriated. I refer, of course, to the ones on the maiden speech of Madame Prime Minister in Parliament. To blame them is brutal, baseless and grossly unfair.


'A-fasta' or 'Just-in' time
AS A child I went to see my first western at the Odeon Cinema and was impressed by a large gun that looked like a black pepper shaker and fired bullets with great rapidity. - Orville Taylor


Towards a lower tax rate
FINANCE MINISTER Dr. Omar Davies' projection of a 20 per cent increase in tax revenue against the blank backdrop of no new taxes, has stirred a maelstrom reaction. - Cedric Wilson
