This touches me to the core just hearing the plight of the children from Mr Allen. I don't have much to give but little is much when God's in it. I hope others will help 🙏

[@patriciabeckford2793]

People be patient, learn the bigger picture, we just had a storm. Blocking road is hampering the progress! JPS workers are human being too, have to be working long hours and they have families Some of these JPS workers have no electricity restored either.

Jamaica ppl have to know that the country is small ND they don't have the manpower to get things done quick . just take America its almost 2 weeks since the hurricane hit Texas ND up to the time am commenting on this million of ppl there is still in the dark ND America is a rich ND big country . so Jamaica ppl got to have some patent

[@winsomefoster]

Ballards Valley in St Elizabeth is still without electricity and internet, but still, i have been getting internet bill for July

[@kedishasmith6617]

JPS WORKERS ARE ASKING FOR MONEY TO RECONNECT THE ELECTRICITY TO SEVERAL COMMUNITIES. EVEN IN WESTMORELAND 😢

[@zerotolerancebullykennel5123]

Dem ppl yah look like dem nuh understand natural disaster, I don't have no damn light yet either... y'all should be thankful it didn't hit us hard, cuz after Gilbert it took 6 months before we got light...and ah Kingston dat, unuh just pray we never get a good lick from one...cuz nowadays ppl cannot live without certain comfort, mi ah well trained soldier... prepare fi anything, all if light nevva come back...train ur mind, don't let it train you...

[@damionwhite1031]

U nuh understand JPS, bill still acom wen we inna darkness

[@TheSpliffstar72]

Some a unu a compare Texas to jamaica ,this is a small island and jps should had been prepared and have workers on stand by in all parish , i pay alot of money for light per month and others do as well not everyone steal electricity in jamaica, clearly jps and their shareholders are the only one that benefits off selling electricity on the islands , every hurricane season they should employ more workers and have them on standby incase of any emergency..and i bet coming next month that bill won't fail to reach ppl on time and i bet you will be charged for the 2 weeks that lights was out...

[@holnessshanette7901]

Some people a talk about Texas because they have light. Being so long without power can be traumatizing. Well thank God they are getting outside help.

[@haddingtoniangcp2464]

Rasta dey pon top. Lets focus on what we teach our kids and not what their hairstyle looks like. Misplaced priorities at its finest.

[@wiseemissary]

Jamaican getting more ridiculous than ever, how this protest make sense?

[@DiamondsCourt]

If you don't know... Don't judge.

[@summaz_]

​@@DiamondsCourtThe main reason it is taking so long is because JPS is unable to safely reach certain areas, blocking the road is making it worse. Its stupid, protest okay whatever wont change anything lol, but blocking the road isnt helping.

Yeah...i really dont see why this issue needed political commentary....and mi a pnp😂😂😂😂 TVJ should have sought commetary from the rastafarian community as they were/are the ones impacted!

[@dookoonu2741]

They didn't make it it political. It is inherently political. In this day and age people are preventing kids from attending school because of their locks and the government can't step in and say, none of that? Why you need a court to say that? Ridiculous!

[@oliveionayasharal]

Irma and Ida people in America had to wait for weeks, and this was in US. Beryl affected Texas and still 12 millions people out of electricity / power. guys in JA 🇯🇲 be patience

[@alliejohnson2373]

Jamaican think they a special at all times .all now I don’t get back light and I understand it was a hurricane

[@rhonda-ik3xw]

A me alone hear the man say put pimento in porridge 🤔

[@CalvinHendricks]

Folks I see lots of people complaining about something that is not a simple task. Electricity CANNOT be just flipped on after a MAJOR storm. Poles, wires, transformers and infrastructure MUST be repaired first. In America with thousands of workers and hundreds of vehicles taking care of reconnections care after a hurricane it still takes as much as 3plus months for the very last persons to get back electricity. PATIENCE is a MUST Jamaica. PATIENCE!

[@kyte2000]

people just ignorant

[@dianabarnett7428]

In America 🇺🇸 Texas is out of lights and acting like you Jamaica 🇯🇲 people

[@yagga8885]

And the power companies who are at fault in both places, not the government. So them mentioning election is silly

[@globalbutterfly]

The JPS made the community of Bluefields, Westmoreland pay to get the their power restored or said they’d have to wait another month! That is disgusting. It’s been two weeks since the hurricane. The JPS needs to do better where is the government support?

[@rubylimey7614]

jPS has a monopoly on electricity... Are there any other electric companies on the island??

Propaganda Politics and these ppl cant think for themselves. Rich country Merimaka has nuff an plenty more manpower an resources than likkle Ja.Millions of ppl are without power an nah behave like unnuh.,but unnuh cyaan tame one mindset What a pity Truth cause offense but a nuh sin

[@yagga8885]

While you have a point re same issue in Houston, JPS is merciless when it comes to overcharging customers. Jamaica is among the countries that pay the highest power bill. So, the frustration stems from that too. Center point in Houston has no such history.

[@roselinton8749]

Gilbert fid more damage than Beryl.The people did not take that long to get back light.They must remember people have things in their refrigerators that cannot last after a couple of days.Especially those doing business.Jamaica need a second Light and power ,just like flow and Digicel where there is competition.
