Motorists have been complaining for some time now about the poor lighting and signage on the St Thomas leg of the Souther Coastal Highway Project (SCHIP), pointing out it is a death trap where many accidents will take place.

The Government and those responsible for this roadwork will have to heed this warning.

PNP defends good governance, warns Dennis Chung not qualified to head FID

Reading Time: 3 minutesOpposition Leader of the People’s National Party, Mark Golding, said Jamaica must stand against the erosion of good governance following the appointment of Dennis Chung as Chief Technical Director (CTD) of the Financial Investigation Division.

Golding said the PNP does not support the government’s defilement of principle and is urging citizens to stand against corruption. “We do not support this; we stand against this. Time come for good governance in the country, time come for a government that is above board, and time come for a new government that the people can have trust and confidence in, that can rescue Jamaica from corruption and the mire of bad governance in which Jamaica is now enmeshed. Only the People’s National Party can do that under my leadership,” Golding said.

Young Jamaica condemns the PNP for pressuring Dennis Chung to resign from FID post

Reading Time: 2 minutesYoung Jamaica, the youth arm of the governing Jamaica Labour Party (JLP), has condemned the efforts by the People’s National Party (PNP) to pressure Dennis Chung into not accepting the post of Chief Technical Director (CTD) of the Financial Investigations Division (FID).

On Thursday, May 29, the PNP hosted a press conference expressing that the decision for Chung to head the Financial Investigations Division (FID) after openly declaring his views supporting Prime Minister Andrew Holness’s actions — the very agency now tasked with probing serious allegations linked to the prime minister’s statutory declarations — is unconscionable.
