I commend that the Broadcasting Commission of Jamaica, he saw the importance of the Jamaican Music, Jamaican People and the country. It is very important for one to value what you have and not to destroy it. The Broadcasting Commissioner values what we have in Jamaica and is willing to stand up for the many Jamaicans at home and abroad who recognize what we have and want to take care of it.
Probably the Broadcasting Commission is the one who should be running the county so we can clean up the corruptions, violence and get rid of the guns and murders. We cannot afford to let our country decay while the government and the leaders do nothing.
Mr. commission I applaud you for the stand that you take sir. Much respect to you and you team sir. Thank you for protecting the future leaders and the integrity of our Island.
