  • Lee Chin says 5-in-4 needs public sector accountability

    With quarterly growth of 0.3 per cent, chairman of the 41-month-old Economic Growth Council (EGC), Michael Lee Chin, says that the permanent status of permanent secretaries under the Jamaican Constitution, has to be removed to enable higher gross domesitic product (GDP) growth levels.


    Lee Chin, who was speaking at the latest press briefing held by the council at Jamaica House on Wednesday, said that until the lack of accountability related to the permanency of the job is removed, there is no possibility of achieving growth at the level of five per cent in four years, which had been projected by the EGC.


    He noted that in the context of private corporations, the person responsible for implementation is the CEO, and in government the responsible person for the implementation of policies is the permanent secretary (in the ministry).


    “Accountability is what makes plans work. In corporations, if a business plan is not executed, the CEO is fired. In government, if policies are not implemented on a timely basis, no one is fired. Until we fix this lack of accountability the public sector will continue to (fail to) achieve our desired goals; until we fix this lack of accountability issue, there will be no public sector transformation and until we fix this accountability issue achieving five per cent growth in four years will be an uphill task,” he stated.

    I wish he would be just as vocal on anti corruption laws.
    THERE IS ONLY ONE ONANDI LOWE!

    "Good things come out of the garrisons" after his daughter won the 100m Gold For Jamaica.


    "It therefore is useless and pointless, unless it is for share malice and victimisation to arrest and charge a 92-year-old man for such a simple offence. There is nothing morally wrong with this man smoking a spliff; the only thing wrong is that it is still on the law books," said Chevannes.
