Shameful, false and barefaced!
That’s how Opposition Spokesman on Finance, Audley Shaw, is describing Prime Minister and People’s National Party President, Portia Simpson Miller, argument that Jamaica is presently in an economic bind because of “four missing years” of the former JLP administration.
The Opposition Spokesman on Finance was speaking at a JLP meeting in Clarendon on Sunday when he delivered his put down of the Prime Minister’s argument.
Audley Shaw says Mrs Simpson Miller is being bare-faced.
Mr. Shaw charged that JLP administrations have had to consistently rescue Jamaica’s economy from the mismanagement of the PNP.
Shaw’s response to the Prime Minister has come as the political climate in Jamaica is heating up ahead of local government elections which are due by March next year.
The Opposition Spokesman noted that when the JLP demitted office in 2011, the country’s economy was stable, food prices were not increasing rapidly and the exchange rate which is now approaching 1-hundred-and-13 to one US dollar, was kept at 86-dollars to 1 for over 2 years.
