I heard that Jamaica Prime Minister Bruce Golding refuses to give up his old 16-year-old Volvo for a new car since this will be seen as splurging in hard economic times. PM Golding, like everything else he does, is just underestimating

the judgment of the Jamaican people. Jamaicans are very proud set of people and no Jamaican in is right mind would be happy with our PM driving a car which broke down four times already.

We as Jamaicans don’t care if you drive a million dollar Mercedes, Mr. Golding, just reduce the damn crime rate in the country. Everything you do is done from a political and ideological perspective and that is why you find it so hard to govern. You are ‘majoring on the minor and minoring on the major.’ Having a good car to go around with will ensure your safety and the safety of your security personnel. You cannot impress Jamaicans by driving around in an old car. Some of the millions you spend on foreign trips since you took office could have been used to purchase a new car. It is no wonder you cannot deliver, you underestimate the intelligence of the Jamaican people.
