The People's National Party Youth Organisation, PNPYO, today offered scathing criticism of the 16-month old Bruce Golding administration. At its first press conference since a change in its leadership, the PNPYO said the government had failed Jamaicans on several fronts.
Focusing on the economic crunch now facing the country, President Damion Crawford expressed concern about what he said was the government's haste to pass blame rather than act decisively to minimise fallout.
He also noted that the government has failed to deliver on several promises made.
"If we should look at what was promised, they have not delivered anything close to what they have promised and to that extent I think they have failed the Jamaica public," he said.
Mr. Crawford pointed to the ballooning crime rate as evidence that the government's various strategies have not yielded the desired results.
He pledged that in a bid to assist the government, the PNPYO would unveil its own crime strategy next month.
The recent controversy involving members of the police force and MP for West St. Thomas James Robertson did not escape the notice of the PNPYO President.
Mr. Crawford urged Prime Minister Golding to break his silence on the matter while calling for a detailed investigation of the incident.
The Organisation stressed that an MP's actions cannot be left to individual determination and called for a written code of conduct to be developed to govern their actions.
