🔥 Serious Questions Inna Serious Times
A so di vibes set right now: tension hot like jerk chicken pan roadside grill. Mark Golding a beat him chest louder every week, and one line keep echoing louder across di hills, valleys and social media comments section:
“Is di Prime Minister still fit to lead Jamaica inna 2025?”
Mi nah lie, is a serious question. One weh many Jamaicans a whisper, side-eye, or boldly drop in voice notes. So let’s cut di fluff, get to di root, and lay out everything inna simple, yard-style fashion.
Dis article nuh come fi pick side. It come fi reason deep, show yuh both sides, and offer a real plan how wi as people can stay informed, demand more, and choose better.
💢 Why Di People Dem Vex – And Rightfully So
From Clarendon to St. James, mi hear di same cry:
-
“We tired a promise with no delivery.”
-
“Country nah move forward like dem claim.”
-
“Yutes still can't find meaningful work.”
Golding and di People’s National Party (PNP) a ride pan dat wave of frustration, asking out loud what nuff people been wondering inna silence:
Is our current leadership truly serving di people, or just di party machinery?
🧠 The Real Problem Underneath
Mi naw go sugarcoat it. Jamaicans, especially working-class, feel:
-
Underrepresented: Big speeches, but no real consultation wid community.
-
Betrayed: Expectation vs reality a look like chalk vs cheese.
-
Exhausted: Crime, high cost of living, healthcare issues, and corruption scandals.
When everyday people cyaan even afford di basics, but hear 'bout billions in "planned" projects, frustration boil over.
Mark Golding a tap into dat emotion, framing himself as a man wid “clean hands and clear mission.” But how true is di message? And how much is politics as usual?
🚫 Misconceptions & What Nah Work No More
Let’s talk straight. These outdated mindsets nah carry we into no brighter 2025:
-
“Vote red or green cause mi family always do so.”
→ Dat tribalism a slow poison to progress. -
“All politicians thief so it nuh matter.”
→ Nah. Some do work, some don’t—but grouping everybody same only protect di guilty. -
“Mi vote can’t change nutten.”
→ Wrong! If yuh never matter, dem wouldn’t spend so much time convincing yuh to show up.
🛠️ What Jamaica Need Now: A Real Leadership Checklist
If wi serious ‘bout choosing wisely inna 2025, den wi haffi judge leadership—not by sweet words, but by track record and action.
Here’s how fi evaluate if a PM—or any leader—fit fi di job:
1. Transparency
→ Do dem hide behind PR, or face di nation during crisis?
2. Delivery
→ Talk is cheap. Did di big projects promise in 2020 materialize?
3. Representation
→ Do rural and inner-city people feel heard—or just hype up at election time?
4. Team Leadership
→ Good PMs build strong teams, not yes-men. Who’s advising dem?
5. Future Readiness
→ Wi heading into a tech-driven, climate-sensitive world. Is di PM’s plan futuristic or stuck in 1999?
