  • Images of Change In Jamaica and Barbados
Sep 30, 2013

GEORGETOWN, Guyana - JAMAICANS may perhaps be too focused with ongoing internal political problems afflicting both the governing Peoples National Party (PNP) and the opposition Jamaica Labour Party (JLP) to reflect on the significant strides being achieved in moving their country out of the long period of depressing social and economic woes.
If an apt comparison could be made to illustrate the changes being pursued for Jamaica’s new path to economic progress and social stability, then Barbados, in the Eastern Caribbean, would easily come to mind.
For, as I have otherwise observed in the ‘Barbados Nation’, the contrasting images at this time in these two founding partner states of our 15-member Caribbean Community deserve to attract some sober attention.
