J’cans ‘Hungry’ For Jailing Of Corrupt Bigwigs, Says Diploma

[Sir X]

The Jamaican public is “hungry” to see top-ranking government officials pay the consequences for alleged acts of corruption in the public sector, says Ambassador Malgorzata Wasilewska, outgoing head of the European Union (EU) Delegation to Jamaica.

In an exclusive interview with the top EU diplomat in the region, Wasilewska said that corruption not only undermined democracy and good governance but also depleted economic resources, depriving the country of critical infrastructural development and social support.


........Transparency International’s 2019 Corruption Perception Index (CPI) in January positioned Jamaica as the fourth most corrupt state among Caribbean countries, ahead of Guyana, Trinidad and Tobago, and Haiti.

Robbing to prosperity..lol

[Sir X]

Last November 2019, almost 40 per cent, a plurality, of our people indicated that the most significant sign that Jamaica is on the right track with regard to fighting corruption is “seeing big fish successfully prosecuted and assets confiscated”.

So far, our people have waited in vain for that sign. The continued failure to catch big fish is having serious consequences for continued high rates of crime, for billions of dollars of losses of funds that could be devoted to relieving hardship on our people, and for growing disillusionment with our democratic system.

Any party that can effectively tap the issue of corruption and follow through with serious tangible palpable measures to lock up any under the sun without partiality is guaranteed 4 terms.
