Hold for it! The resignation is coming at the top State agency. But many people are saying it was a firing. The woman tipped to takeover might not be able to because there are claims of nepotism. Drama and more drama.

From Port of Spain with…

People are saying that Trinidad PM Dr Rowley means well. Let us hope that he will not be hindered in carrying out his commitments to fix things with Jamaica.

Meanwhile, back at the ranch

People are saying it looks bad on the people who were trying to make out that the UWI deliberately snubbed PM Holness by not inscribing him in the graduate-leaders park. Rubbish!

His first stint as PM was unusually short and there is every reason to believe that he’ll be around for sometime yet this time. Just as we girls have a bad hair day, there must have been a bad news day.

National insecurity

Robert Montague seems out of his depth in the portfolio of national security minster as Jamaica continues to awash in blood. People say he is not capturing the imagination of the populace without whom we can’t stop the runaway murder-rate. Maybe it’s time for a woman in the job. How about Marlene Malahoo Forte? She is more aggressive.

Question of the week

Can Reggae Sumfest make it without a major foreign act?
