Anthony Hylton, who it’s widely believed will soon be sidelined as Minister of Investment and Commerce came out swinging yesterday as he hosted a “closed” door meeting with the JEA to discuss the logistics hub project.
Mr Hylton lashed out at current Minister of Foreign Affairs AJ Nicholson, who he has accused of taking an adhoc approach to foreign investment coming into the country as part of the ministerial responsibilities for foreign affairs. Mr Hylton accused the Minister of not ensuring that synergies exist between the various foreign policy agreements being signed and the investments that are likely as a result of those policies. He indicated he would have preferred his approach when he was responsible for that Ministry in the last PNP administration.
In taking an swipe at the Minister of Finance , Peter Phillips, Mr Hylton said, despite repeated attempts to get his voice heard, the Minister of Finance was only now beginning to understand what was really going on, in respect to the concerns raised by him (Anthony Hylton)
It is very clear to me why Anthony Hylton was not included in the China trip, he is definitely being snubbed and his voice is being ignored as the PM appears to be giving a listening hears to other closely aligned to her, leaving Mr Hylton out in the cold.
Clearly he is peeved and very uncomfortable with what is currently taking place.
Word is he may not be in that Ministry much longer.

I shudder to think that the perennial “non-performer” pickersgill will be front and center in this project!! We are still paying for his ineptitude for the Mount Rosser bypass
Am I only one who believes that this ‘cure all of Jamaica’s problems’ logistic hub will not happen.
Not a “cure all” but more of a positioning for the next election.
So can every positive move a government makes anywhere in the world be considered “a positioning for the next election”?
