Prime Minister Andrew Holness has declared that under the current government, Jamaica will experience its greatest progress since its independence in 1962.

Holness is adamant that his Jamaica Labour Party (JLP) administration has been “delivering [ing] greatness” to the people.

“Power without purpose is meaningless. Our goal is not simply to hold power. Our leadership continues to deliver the greatest progress that Jamaica has experienced since independence.” Holness posted to his X.com account.

“Through a collaborative effort involving government, private sector, academia, and civil society, we will make this vision a reality,” he added in a separate post.

Sticking to the message of a greater Jamaica, the prime minister at the opening of the first-ever Artisan Village in Falmouth, on April 19 said the JLP will be pushing ethics of productivity in the Jamaican psyche and plans on achieving this through a variety of undisclosed methods.

“The thrust for productivity is the new frontier of the government. That is the new effort of the government.

“I described it now as the partnership for productivity, and we will be pursuing various ways of ensuring that this idea, this principle, this ethic of productivity becomes entrenched in who we are as a Jamaican and part of our identity as Jamaicans,” he said.
