Since the Government of Jamaica through Minister of Industry, Commerce and Trade - Anthony Hylton indicated the pending reopening of scrap-metal industry, scavengers have again begun their
assault on the Country’s infrastructure. Telecoms, road signs, billboards,
train-lines, bridges and electricity equipment have become the target yet
again.
It is ridiculous that after all the mayhem the
scrap metal thieves caused on this country before, if is hard to fathom why we are
seriously considering reopening this as a trade sector yet again. If this sector is to be
resumed, it should be under the collective responsibility of every Minister of
Government, because for too long leaders in this country make decisions that
they have been warned not to by the people of Jamaica and when they fail
miserably, it cost this country billions of dollars that only the taxpayers pay or
feel the consequences of these ill-advised decisions.
If by some miracle, the scrap metal trade
actually works out successfully this time around, then we will hail the government and particularly Anthony Hylton – Minister, Industry, Trade and
Commerce as geniuses. However, if the scrap metal trade begins to pull this country apart again, the Jamaican people should form a class action case
against the government for knowingly and recklessly placing its' citizens and infrastructure at risks.
It is about time we exercise our right to
question the decisions of those we have elected to govern in the best interest
of our country’s future. Madam Prime Minister, you’ve had my vote now do your job and put Jamaica
first!
One Love!
