PM Holness
Prime Minister Andrew Holness says recent investment in the security forces is already yielding results with a reduction in major crimes and an increase in the recovery of illegal weapons.
He also says special emergency powers are required as part of the crime fighting plan. The Prime Minister was speaking Thursday at the ground-breaking ceremony for the Little London Police Station in Westmoreland. The government’s use of emergency powers to address crime has come under public scrutiny. It’s still the source of much political contention.
But Prime Minister Andrew Holness contends the history of the use of emergency powers, shows that they have been effective in dramatically reducing murders. Prime Minister Holness highlights that with the use of emergency powers, force was used without violence and no lives were lost. PM Holness says Jamaica’s crime problem won’t be solved in a year as it needs a consensus among all stakeholders to include both political parties.
