A preeminent mind with prolific works - arguably the best we’ve had - yet we shouldn’t forget the under celebrated Dr. Peter Phillips who took us from 140%+ Debt to GDP to about 125% and laid the ground work that made the successes of Dr. Clarke possible. Perhaps two of the finest Ministers the country has ever had.

No minister can stopped people from taking revenge out of anger, like Jamaican are good at doing. So it depends on what you mean by Crime. Because most violent crime are amongst criminal and domestic. Not innocent people like many other countries.

Congrats on the new position. Upon originally learning about the IMF about 20 years ago, the outlook for Jamaica’s economy was dismal. Being the first in anything will be challenging but hopefully you will have a very strong and reliable support team.

No politician loves his people more than himself and will always seek to benefit more from his actions than anyone else. NONE, whether their party is pink, orange, purple, blue or green.
