The hurricane season has just started and we don't know what God is doing..what if he sends something worse? So let's all b thankful to him for his mercies and stop the blame game ..

[@originalfoxylady4520]

Thank you, Mr Prime Minister, for the flyover in the JDF helicopter of SWSt.E St. Elizabeth. We love you. 💚🇯🇲✅️💯✝️

[@Comfort-bv9xk]

Thank you so much Prime Minister Andrew Holness for your compassionate heart toward the Jamaican. God bless you more. And we pray for God of the universe to avert any future disaster from Jamaica and other islands ❤

[@BritneyWaldron]

I didn't know it was that bad. Praying for Jamaica 🇯🇲

[@jenniferphillips7539]

No one can angry its natural disaster everyone have to try help each other the PM will help but ppl need to know that God is in control of us all so some stuff ppl have to take responsibility of like stop trow garbage in the gully

[@simonecampbell9346]

Cant curse God for his works so we tend to blame someone else all the time and not ourselves but I do hope we will all join together in the recovery of Jamaica land we love..for the greater good...

[@user-lx1zp7zm4s]

Best prime minister God bless you and your family keep up the good work

[@bbhjh8536]

I had been wondering what went on in places like Maypen, Four Paths areas! No wonder I can't make contact with anyone. There are some nursing homes in the area. Hope they're not badly affected! Thank you Sir for taking quality time to visit residents in these affected areas! God bless!

[@christinaroachstone1303]

I can't get to my husband Winston stone from may pen clarendon

[@hazelmitchell2450]

Thanks Mr PRIME MINISTER.

[@user-dd8xh3gi6t]

Thanks for what, a bag of promises, they need to be proactive instead of reactive.

[@user-dd8xh3gi6t]

Don’t listen to the PM he is always unofficial.

[@Earth_Extreme]

The positioning of the hurricane over Jamaica had no bearing on 'God'. If it had, the other Caribbean Islands that were devastated would have been spared!

[@jacquelinelewis9922]

Tell people please don't live under sea leavle and low line areas but we are not eudcaitane themselves the love to live on the government put themselves in odd spots and blame the government

[@winstoncampbell697]

Big up my pm God bless you

[@winsomereynolds7382]

Appreciate you going around to see the devastation in different areas of the country and the people that are affected by thie storm but in every thing give thanks it could have been worst thank u Mr Holness

[@firelioness363]

It's a difficult task ahead in a natural environment as an Island ... Clearing of Trees Clearing of debris... Removal of Flooded Waters ... And the reestablishment of electricity and the grid ... Infrastructure...

[@user-ns5rc5oz8n]

Jamaicans will always help themselves but materials and tools are not free!

[@winsomebarnett9110]

And your point ?

[@jacquelinelewis9922]

We like to live in odds sports and then blame game starts when the rain starts with flood their gose the cussing

[@EmilyRobinson-gw6ue]

Why not long term.? Never heard of a medium term😂 each communities should get help😢

[@mauricelawrence4642]

From Wednesday I don't have no light no water we group up and clear debris so the transportation can pass I don't see no JPS nobody food spoil and ice turn gold ah supermarket Mr Prime minister can I suggest that for the balance of the hurricane season and in future can we have some maintenance that trees can be trimmed and cut down and adequate drainage is provided instead we pay taxes for you to fly in pose and promise why we ah suffer how can you be promising one somebody back ah house when communities across the island ah suffer from you same politician taking ate taxes and using it for personal gain

[@cjBless-zi5wv]

Fi real..taxpayers money not being used to consistently trim trees clear drains etc like in the days of PWD. So when natural disasters I a see last ditched effort right before.conmunities are suffering and most residents have to be doing things themselves without any help

[@angelwill9474]

This is not just a Jamaica problem. After hurricanes in the USA people are without power up to a week or more, so people just have to do their best to adapt

[@waitaminute2015]

Living at or below sea level is a very bad idea, unless you build on concert stilts.

[@user-dd8xh3gi6t]

Jamaica government always needs to be proactive instead of reactive, they always under prepared in every area when it comes to disaster.

[@Royane111]

A good talk but please show Lus the damage so that we know what happened!!

[@MikeJordanGroupie]

Yeah right, the Crown has enough funding, gotten from the blood of slavery, that they could at least hurricane-proof the entire land. I am sure that Mr Holness has power, a roof and a dry bedroom with a stock of food. These people know how to talk to the poor people and play on their emotions.

[@melaniebrown2962]

Loss of electricity down power lines and cell phone service and lights and need help I know people who need help !!

[@kcrooks7]

🙏🙏🙏

[@winsomebarnett9110]

Thank you Sir ❤❤❤

[@melaniebrown2962]

160 miles of wind and rain and speed and flooding and drainage and road washed away

[@Zanny386]

South East Clarendon communities have lacked proper representation from Sir Alexander Bustamante days.

[@rosaleebrown506]

You telling us you will give her a house 🏠 the issue of drainage dah should have dekt with before now then u never know that

[@melaniebrown2962]

Better roofs

[@dormaparchment6860]

All parishes get some damage, but st Elizabeth and Clarendon get a beating,

[@islandslimting1838]

It's clear that the whole community has been devastated by the storm. What made her house qualify to be rebuilt? Is he doing it for everyone else?

[@cjBless-zi5wv]

Done know, for votes

[@TimeCome-xq1mv]

Good job Mr prime minister

[@stafariestewart7894]

Hope it's not just words

[@XqLusivaSoundsUKTVXQS]

Andrew a make sure take care of the people in his constituency first..Clarendon a strong JLP SUPPORTERS 🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@josephbryden4828]

[@jasoncyrus2025]

Holness don't business with the people if so the government would ensure that adequate drainage was in place years ago every district suffer drainage issues when heavy rainfall

[@user-mp3wm4ux4g]

I stand with u on this. She could a find something better fe draw on fe come paa tv. Kmt

[@maryjohnson7784]

She has no house so I presume she has lost everything.

[@godcup241]

Maybe her clothes got damaged in the hurricane along with her house

[@rina3822]

Please stop. This woman has lost everything. Have some compassion instead of criticism. You may be in a better position.

[@giniolamy]

@@rina3822 The women who have everything in Jamaica 🇯🇲 still dress like that So what's your excuse now, But for an older woman I don't think it's appropriate

[@peachesbarrett6693]

Well,You haven’t been spending any money that have been coming in for all these years so You should be able to help the entire country not just the citizens but the roads, build new schools and clean up the side walks.Look how Monroe and Hampton look.You need to put first class buildings and paved roads, side walks,flowers, trees,nice fence around the properties to these schools.We got to do better and come up to 2024 world that we live in.

[@cjBless-zi5wv]

👏exactly a fool dem tek wi fah .role out di billions from tourism sector and ay whe the finance minister seh it deh..it belongs to the people's communities

[@JoyMc299]

When under trial, let no one say: “I am being tried by God.” For with evil things God cannot be tried, nor does he himself try anyone. James 1:13 Thine Kingdom come. Let your kingdom come on earth as it is as in heaven " .Even when a person has an abundance, his life does not result from the things he possesses.”-Luke 12:15.

[@derrickg.1161]

The community needs help, not just her, so stop making these personal promises

[@GaryB0436]

Well a promise is not a comfort to a struggling and hungry Man.

[@backtotheroots0]

Ok, medium-term reliefs means: no light til the end of hurricane season.

[@rina3822]

Holness talks a lot but people need to see work. Everythingis a photo opp. Let's see the relief to the people in action. It's now 4 days after. I see Jamaicans are doing their part by removing debris, etc, but the elderly and poor are hungry. Were groceries given to this shelterless person. Only hug up and promises were given. Jamaican people are tired of promises that haven't been fulfilled so far. Prime minister do better.
