Golding vows to remove bureaucratic red tape stifling business

 

Opposition Leader Mark Golding says a People's National Party (PNP) administration will remove the bureaucratic red tape, which has been stifling the business climate in Jamaica.

 

Speaking at a party meeting in Clarendon on the weekend, Mr. Golding declared that the PNP has a long list of programmes it wants to share with the electorate during the buildup to the general election. 

 

But Mr. Golding said the party will only reveal the plans when the date of the election is announced.

 

"I am going to look at the bureaucracy and all the rules and all the procedures in government and see how we can make them easier for the people, make them less expensive for the people, to help the economy move forward and so we can build a strong economy creating wealth for the people of Jamaica. I am going to help when it comes to investment. I am going to help investors get through their business; if they have any issues in government, working with my line ministers because we want this economy to generate good, well-paying jobs so the wealth can be created here. We want our people to be able to meet their aspirations right here on this beautiful rock," he said.

 

"So Comrades, we have a lot of good ideas, a lot of good plans and we have more to tell you. But we not ready fi tell you yet because we don't have fixed election dates in Jamaica, and we don't know when him going call it. And we know that if we tell them everything too soon, they going to cut those ribbons as well and try own it, and we nuh inna that," the PNP president told supporters.
