KINGSTON, Jamaica - WE share the concerns articulated by former Jamaican Prime Minister P J Patterson about the restriction of free movement of Caribbean Community (Caricom) nationals among member states.
Mr Patterson’s concerns are particularly relevant given that CARICOM heads of Government have committed to measures to ease travel difficulties at ports.
“What purpose does the CARICOM passport serve if travelling within the region is still like an obstacle race?” Mr Patterson is reported as saying in an address to the Rotary Club of Georgetown, in Guyana, earlier this week.
