Prime Minister and JLP Leader Dr Andrew Holness
Prime Minister Dr Andrew Holness has responded sharply to former Prime Minister P J Patterson for his recent scathing assessment of the present government's stewardship of the country's affairs.
Last month Mr Patterson, in his address at the People's National Party Region Six Forum said the administration of Dr Holness's Jamaica Labour Party [JLP] had done a poor job at managing the country's road network, health system and reducing poverty.
But, Dr Holness, speaking in the constituency of St. Elizabeth North West, on Friday night, declared that his administration had raised the bar in creating better policies that benefit the majority.
Furthermore, he said says the former Prime Minister was in no position to criticise the government.
Third Term?
Dr Holness also declared that the governing JLP has earned a third term in office, claiming that it has accomplished all that it had set out to do.
The Prime Minister, conceded, however, that the JLP is not entitled to the votes of Jamaicans but must win them over through action.
Asserting that the JLP should be given the opportunity to continue with the management of the country, Dr Holness said the party will be launching a voter awareness campaign, especially targeting young people, whom he argues are being misled by the People's National Party.
