Opposition “alarmed” at statement by National Security Minister on crime

KINGSTON, Jamaica, CMC – The main opposition Jamaica Labour Party (JLP) says it is alarmed at a statement by National Security Minister, Peter Bunting acknowledging that the fight against crime seems to be a futile endeavour in Jamaica. “It is not only alarming; it is the tone and the manner in which he expressed himself, though I empathise with him, it seems to me that this is not the right or appropriate approach to dealing with this crime situation,” said the JLP’s spokesman on Crime, Delroy Chuck. He said Bunting is sending a wrong signal to the country.
