Jamaica Gleaner In Focus
published: Sunday | April 6, 2008

Press freedom threatened?
It would be a cold day in hell when the Bruce Golding-led Government yanks the operating licence from the owners of NewsTalk 93 FM. Forget about all the hysteria and hype being created over the recommendation by the Broadcasting Commission to do so.

Educating the uneducated

When the programme to transform the education system was published, I noted that it was so cluttered with problems to be dealt with that it would be very difficult to achieve or to show movement in finding solutions.

Rough road, top driver

From 1944 to 1989, Jamaica was a two term land. Each administration was voted back in once, and no more. But the PNP governed for four straight terms from 1989 to 2007.

Budgeting with a vision

There is still no vision of the kind of society that the Jamaica Labour Party (JLP) wishes Jamaica to become, at least none that could be seen from the Throne Speech delivered by the governor general last week.

Ja: state of electricity sector -Pt IV

About 95 per cent of the electricity used is generated by burning heavy fuel oil or automotive diesel (diesel). The balance comes from renewable sources (hydropower and wind power). Oil demand for power generation accounts for about 21 per cent of Jamaica's oil imports.

Improving the budgetary process

Now that a budget has been tabled in the House of Representatives as required by sections 115 and 116 of the Constitution of Jamaica, it is time to revisit an old argument - amending these sections of the Constitution and allow a longer budgetary cycle.
