The Jamaican Political Landscape
By Janet Shan

I was born in Jamaica and grew up in Hopewell, Hanover, which is close to Montego Bay, the tourist capital of Jamaica. My family and I migrated in the late 1970s when there was rising political unrest on the island due to the threat of Jamaica becoming an English-speaking territory of Cuba. I remember people leaving in droves to go to Canada and the United States. I have returned to Jamaica on several occasions since then and I must say that my impressions of the land of my birth have changed dramatically with each visit. I was particularly taken aback when I visited last June at the squalor in the center of Montego Bay, which was once a tony city bustling with so much activity. There were so many roads that were in disrepair, Pye River Cemetery was an absolute eye-sore and above all, I was completely baffled at the sight of a water treatment plant that replaced what used to be acres and acres of sugar cane. The stench that comes from that plant is unbearable some times during the day and there is a subdivision across the street.

I must say, that the nation has become technologically savvy, to some degree and one can find the latest fashions and trends there as well, but the broader question is at what cost to the heritage and dignity has the island forsaken its basic responsibility to its people? Jamaica has always been a premier tourist destination for as long as I can remember and the island has always been a friendly place to be, with the best accommodations, foods, culture and activities for all. But Jamaica has sunken into some levels of degradation due to the recently ousted Peoples National Party, which governed the island for 18 years. P. J. Patterson and Portia Simpson Miller have been the worst leaders in the country's short history. They have managed to plunder resources, while selling Jamaica out to any bidders that meet their criteria. The crime rate has skyrocketed and the drugs have become a very pervasive problem on the island. A recent report released by the U.S. State Department has listed Jamaica among the top 20 drug trafficking hubs in the world. Surely this is not what our forefathers such as Alexander Bustamante and Norman Manley had hoped to see in our history. Jamaica is among Venezuela, Afghanistan, Pakistan and Haiti on this list. There is a great deal of corruption in the police ranks and we need good, solid leadership and a far-reaching crime-fighting plan that can take the streets back from the criminals and remove all fear from residents.
