In seeking a new mandate, Prime Minister Patterson needs to do more than just say what the PNP plans are. Every Jamaican deserves to know why Jamaica of all the countries in the Caribbean, has made little or no progress in the last decade, during a period when the wealth of our major trading partners and the world economy experienced significant expansion. The PNP's plan appears very doubtful as they have failed to present the Jamaican people a Manifesto until last week for elections that may be held within weeks. Is this contempt yet again for the Jamaican people? After being in office for so long and having so much material and human resources at the party's disposal - it seems that all this was not enough in helping to complete a Manifesto before now. Is it that the high quality and overwhelmingly excellent reviews accorded to the "Change Pain to Gain" Manifesto of the JLP, sent members of the PNP's Manifesto Committee back to the drawing board?

Our Prime Minister needs to say how he intends to create jobs - jobs lost during the last 11 years under his stewardship. What are the plans of the PNP, particularly for the emerging intelligentsia. What opportunities have the PNP Government created to absorb these highly trained citizens? Those in the PNP like to say they put people first. The actions and evidences of its "Solid Achievement" issues have proven to be in contradiction to this latter philosophy. People are placed first by a Government when their concerns, needs and aspirations are satisfied.

Are Jamaicans really stupid? I doubt that. As a matter of fact, I think amongst Jamaicans from all walks of life, are some of the finest thinkers on this planet. Maybe what is most lacking amongst us is the courage and ability to hold our leaders accountable. We failed dismally to hold them accountable to their promises.
