Just two days to go before ascending to the position of Prime Minister, Andrew Holness is sending a strong signal to the private sector that he is pro-business.
Mr. Holness was addressing business leaders in another of the Meet the Ministers series put on by the law firm Samuda and Johnson.
The prime minister designate told members of the business sector that his meeting with them on the eve of taking up the mantle of Prime Minister was to send an unequivocal message that he was on the side of growth.
He explained however that this growth should not exclude human development and fiscal responsibility.
“This is a way to pursue a pro-business agenda, to pursue a human development agenda and to maintain fiscal discipline and that requires a culture change in our business class,” Mr. Holness said
Mr. Holness told the business leaders the dense bureaucracy that results in slow economic development must be changed.
“In my saying that I am pro-business we will tackle bureaucracy and inefficiency, we will tackle corruption and we will be equitable in what we do,” he said.
On the issue of his leadership style the Prime Minister designate says he will not be afraid to take unpopular and controversial decisions.
He also explained that his first order of business after his appointment as Prime Minister on Sunday will be to appoint a new Cabinet.
