far back Manley put Jamaica on the development track..
I find it interesting the 30 year gap between 'major' infrastructure works in the Island.
"Morrison pointed out that upon completion of segment three of the North Coast Highway from Ocho Rios to Port Antonio, the next stage of road infrastructure for the eastern side of Portland will be the road network from Port Antonio to Harbour View.
He said the roads in the east, leading into St. Thomas, are badly in need of modernisation, as the last major work on that side of the island took place in the 1960s, when the late Ken Jones was Minister of Transport, Communications and Works."
I mean I understand the importance of JAMAL and such but why such a heavy price ???
Lets call a spade a spade.. many countries have high adult literacy rates as a matter of course.. I suspect they would be baffled as I am why crippling an economy is a requirement.
