published: Sunday | April 6, 2008

EDITORIAL: A good move by the JSE
The announced restructuring of the management of the Jamaica Stock Exchange (JSE), which has been cast as an effort to enhance corporate governance and regulatory oversight, appears to us as a move in the right direction...

An imprudent Budget

The more one looks at the Budget, the more puzzling it appears. The point was already made that the Budget is inflationary. There will also be an increase in the budget deficit and, therefore, in our already high debt. - Don Robotham

New focus on literacy

The vast majority of Jamaicans are now able at least to recognise their name on a bulla. Some of them barely. Unfortunately, many cannot read the newspapers with any real comprehension. - Martin Henry

Jamaican Rambo

Who will claim him? It is easy to determine whether he is Jamaican or American. If he had said he was on his way to Jamaica to 'boom' up the killers of his mother, then Kevin Christopher Brown is absolutely a yardman. - Orville W. Taylor

Slackness and more slackness

Bob Marley's One Love is heralded as the song of the 20th century. Jamaicans are jubilant about this. We boast of the impact of such songs as Redemption Song in encouraging the anti-apartheid movement in South Africa. - Esther Tyson
