1 2 3 Green Light- Bruce on the Go- One year On



Two things have always remained constant in my life, the first is a will to achieve and the other is to stay politically neutral and worst of all, stay away from the J.L.P if ever i was to become partisan. Well, this is what many would call the prime of my life and a decision on the latter constant must be made and here it is, i will forever vote Jamaica and right now my vote is leaning on the green side and is based solely on results. What can be said about the One year Anniversary of the J.L.P government. The first sentiment for me is " not bad, not bad at all" taking into account the circumstances under which the Bruce Golding led administration entered office on the back of a devastating Hurricane which rode the waves of the first economic slump in about 15years, i have to say, it  hasn't been politics as usual, but a lesson in management that must be commended on all fronts. The Rice and Flour debacle left many Jamaicans thinking to themselves, " Farin a di place" myself included, but alas, we are still here, thanks to a carefully crafted management decison to buffer the shocks of the escalating oil prices and the threat of a economic depresion in the United States.
  Many polls done locally by varioous media houses have all  gven the administration atleat a B grade and that in a course as hard as JA07 is like getting and A+ in much easier courses. Amid a depressing crime problem and much pressure form the Opposition, Bruce a do him ting. The biggest move so far for Bruce has been his stern defense of te Jamaican Way of life which won over the hearts of even the most die-hearted P.N.P party loyalist. What was it he said- " Not In My Cabinet" and that sentiment has been manifesting itself in so many other aspects of his ardent managemnt of the Public Resources. In the J.C.F, he has led the charge ensuring  that as much as possible, Corruption is rid, with so many arrests being made in the heart of the police force itself. aone of the biggest criticism of so many previous administration has been its inability to 'represent the people', again, no problem here.
   The recently crowned 'Political Man of the Year' has his own radio/T.V show where CITIZENS, yes as opposed to Members/Loyalists can and do cal in to air their concerns and challenges. So many have been calling  to the talk show to express gratitude for hel recieved, bothe personally and Communally, its his effort to represent the needs of a people, as opposed to fulfilling political aspirations of a personal nature. Now mi nuh know about anybody else, but the best video footage of the year for me is not even the olypic victory of  either Usain Bolt or Shelly- ann Fraser, but that of teh Prime Minister on T.V on the site of the Collapsed Bridge calling in to the NWA to get people out as soon as possible to actually do their job and ensure people can move freely from point A to poin B. That is all it really takes most of the time, just a call from the minister, not just the Prime Minister, but any minister, that is hands on management and if its a political ploy in  search of votes, it got my vote and yes , Mi get Trick. That fro me is the most powerful video this year and on that note i have one thing to say to Bruce Golding as head of this country in such fine form- We Shall Overcome!!!
