You possess the leadership, humanitarian skills with much, love, respect, empathy, compassion for all of Jamaica. Continue to collaborate with all applicable effective, progressive leaders with success stories and who shares your goals, values both, locally, globally to gain consensus, support and ensure the needs of the people are met. Why can’t people be allowed to have options? What if there is a healthcare issue that cannot be addressed locally? As a duel citizen, that could be beneficial to you and family and could be a life saving strategy.
