Jamaica Gleaner Commentary
published: Sunday | April 13, 2008

EDITORIAL - Political implications of court ruling
Outside of an appeal against Chief Justice Zaila McCalla's ruling, delivered last Friday, there will soon be a by-election for the West Portland parliamentary seat, which the chief justice has ordered to vacate by Daryl Vaz. Or, Prime Minister Bruce Golding could decide to call a general election, in a bid to strengthen his parliamentary majority and, in his mind, gain a firmer grasp of the Government.

Cash Plus Budget

The rapid transformation of Cash Plus into cash minus is a very sad story, which has extremely serious implications for the Jamaican people. The issue here is not liquidity but solvency, combined with astonishing extravagance. (Robotham)

The woman without a mike

This is a difficult column to write and to publish. It is the equivalent at street level of being an 'informer'. I deeply thank my like-minded media colleague, Ian Boyne, for taking the lead last Sunday with his piece, 'Press freedom threatened?' with a super-size question mark. (Henry)

China's Olympic crockery

It's as elusive as an Olympic gold medal for Asafa but the torch is playing games of hide-and-seek and tag. All and sundry want to extinguish the eternal flame as it seeks to follow the path of thousands of American jobs and earnings and go to Beijing, China, the home of this year's Summer Olympiad. (Taylor)

The rotten leaf and the rabble-rousers

The recent outrageous behaviour by some of our parliamentarians during the discussion of the Estimates of Expenditure by the Standing Finance Committee of Parliament has left me very worried about the future of our country. (Brown)
