EDITORIAL - Don’t leave the retreat until there is a plan

KINGSTON, Jamaica - In a broadcast Sunday evening, Prime Minister Portia Simpson Miller provided her account of the stewardship of the Government in the year since its election. She followed up yesterday with newspaper advertisements in her role as president of the People's National Party. This newspaper welcomes these initiatives. Reporting to constituents is an important component of leadership. However, were you not living in Jamaica, judging from the prime minister's statements, you would probable conclude that but for a few niggling issues, this was a country without serious problems.
