KINGSTON, Jamaica - JAMAICA'S law-enforcement agencies should feel a sense of achievement with news of the country's removal from the United States' State Department trafficking in persons Tier 2 watch list.
National Security Minister Peter Bunting shared the news with the nation during his contribution to the Sectoral Debate in Parliament last Wednesday.
According to Minister Bunting, the Trafficking in Persons Bill will increase the penalty for the offence, and new provisions for offences like trafficking and other related matters should be debated and passed soon.
