JLP warns Gov’t it must sacrifice too What’s good for the goose
KINGSTON, Jamaica, Observer - AS the Government prepares to update the nation tonight on the pending International Monetary Fund (IMF) loan agreement, Opposition Leader Andrew Holness has warned the Portia Simpson Miller-led Administration that it must prepare to sacrifice as much as it intends to ask of Jamaicans. "For 50 years we have been asked to sacrifice, and again the people of Jamaica will be asked to sacrifice, but will the sacrifice ever yield any success?" asked Holness. "If the people of Jamaica are going to be asked to sacrifice once again the Government must show good faith in that sacrifice. They must cut the size of their Cabinet," he said. "They are asking for wage freezes, they must take a salary cut themselves. They must show signs that they are being frugal and participating in the sacrifice," he said.
