EDITORIAL - Give PM free hand to restructure gov’t

KINGSTON, Jamaica - Today is to be the second and final day of a special session of the Cabinet to deal with what the Government has dubbed its growth agenda. It will have been the fourth such extraordinary meeting of ministers in the nearly 14 months since the People's National Party (PNP) regained the Government.
We previously advised the minister that they should stay wherever they are now holed up, and not emerge, until they not only have a fully defined economic strategy, but clearly defined tactics for its implementation as well as articulation to the Jamaican people.
Now, we offer the Cabinet an alternative, should they be incapable of the demands we have articulated in echo of the Jamaican people. Ministers should resign en masse, allowing Prime Minister Portia Simpson Miller to reshape her Government without having to confront the internal political dilemmas of having to fire party people, some of them stalwarts.
