A Jamaica Labour Party (JLP) supporter expressed, last month by email to G2K, serious concerns about what he believed were People's National Party (PNP) activists and supporters occupying leading and sensitive posts in the civil service and wider public sector and who were intent on sabotaging the policies and initiatives of this still new JLP government.
The message, in part, said: "Remember that what really matters is not the cost to say goodbye to some people who will never support you. What really matters is the cost to keep them, in terms of salary, bad advice, undermining you, leaking information, failing to carry out policy decisions, employing and keeping their friends who also do not support you, and making speeches that undermine you."
As is the norm, the message was circulated as a 'special note' via G2K's BlackBerry Messenger to its huge database of contacts, most of them G2K members, in order to get feedback, and, if necessary, form a policy position.
