Reggae artiste D-Medz has organised a march in Clarendon — the parish where he resides — dubbed the ‘Nuh Falla Bad Company Peace March’ in a bid to advocate for peace to return to the parish.

The event is set for National Heroes Day, October 16.

Named after one of his popular tracks Nuh Falla Bad Company, D-Medz has garnered support from parish officials, the Ministry of National Security, local businesses, community-based organisations and concerned citizens in the parish.

“I born and grow in May Pen. This is home for me and my family and it hurt to see so much murders taking place right next to me. I already lost a brother to the gun and I decide that I am not going to sit and watch anyone else fall victim to crime,” shared D-Medz.

“This march is to show the murderers that there is power in numbers and that the law-abiding people of Clarendon are taking a stance to save our lives and the lives of our neighbours, family and friends. Give the people a chance. Come talk to we, speak up to the leaders, mek we help you. Taking a life doesn’t make a point.”

The Nuh Falla Bad Company Peace March will commence at 2:30 pm on Main Street in May Pen before moving onto Sevens Road, leading to Farm. The Peace March will then move to Effortville before returning to Main Street.

On the day, peace advocates participating in the March are being asked to wear blue, or a branded shirt representing their organisation.
