JAMAICA Council of Churches (JCC) president, Rev Karl Johnson, has called on the nations leaders to speak the truth about all aspect of the country's life, and suggested that calls for renewal of the moral fabric of the country are veiled in hypocrisy and no one wants to come clean.

He was addressing Thursday's annual general meeting of the JCC in Mandeville, Manchester.

"I would like to call our nation to give serious consideration to truth speaking as we seek to build a responsible society. Its absence has become a worrying and destabilising feature. In fact, when one thinks about it, it seems as we can say that 'spin is in'." Johnson said.

The society, he added, could not be viable without having sound morality at its base, and suggested that such a commitment often did not go beyond lip service.

".Hypocrisy has veiled national calls for the renewal of moral values and attitudes as the society continued to say the right things, but failed to back up their words with the appropriate actions," said the churchman.
