Gleaner editorial slams Robert Pickersgill poor performance

There are some people, who I believe continues to bury their heads in the sand vs facing the reality of today’s Jamaica as they would rather live in denial than facing the truth.

I do not believe anyone would want to paint the Jamaica Gleaner as a bias media entity, but the Gleaner has what I have often said and has said in the last few days about the “water” Minister.

It is probably easier to say when, over the last quarter of a century, Bobby Pickersgill did not have ministerial responsibility for water. There was that period, from 1998 to 2001, when P.J. Patterson kept him away from the portfolio, and there were the four years, from 2007 to 2011, when Mr Pickersgill’s party was out of office.

Otherwise, since the People’s National Party (PNP) returned to government in 1989, Robert Dixon Pickersgill, under various titles, has been the man in charge of Jamaica’s water policy and to whom the various agencies responsible for implementing strategies reported. Not even Mr Pickersgill, we feel, would claim to have done a good job. He is likely to agree to having done rather poorly

If Jay says it its because he does not like Jamaicans, he does not like the PNP or some other reason, so I wonder if they will simply ignore the Gleaner editorial of perhaps suggest that this editorial may have been the work of Jay.

Jamaica is where it is today due to our acceptance of mediocrity and our willingness to accept excuses for poor performance or simply ignore the poor performance because its one of us who is in charge.

This is the kind of attitude that will sink any nation and partially explains why we are were we are today.

I really wonder when the blind will begin to see , the deaf begin to hear and the those with access to the media begin to speak the truth to the Jamaican people vs the intellectual dishonesty we witness on a daily basis from our so called analysts and public commentators.
