5 Questions with Junior Kelly - Part 3

Junior Kelly

LAST WEEK, JUNIOR Kelly discussed the positives about Jamaica. Today, he speaks about the negatives he sees in the country.

"Right now mi a tell yu the truth, the biggest negative weh a hold we back and is of major concern, both locally and internationally, is violence, the crime rate, the killings. We a run close behind or a run past some place like Iraq, and we not at war. This is a serious issue, cause the movers and shakers weh inna the politics of this country weh we elect and select, we have to do something about it.

"We need fi do something inna our society cause we caan just seh a major concern and leave it at that. People a look pon we and the only thing they can come up with is the crime status. It is not a good thing for any society to be famous for its crime. The approach to politics is wrong in Jamaica and I think we need to change it.

"We have too much fossils and in politics yu have to recruit young blood. Don't taint the blood before it get in the business, if mi a recruit you to take over my post and mi train you just like me, nutten naa go happen.

"Yu caan confine a young youth meditation to your thinking, cause your thinking outdated. Yu need young blood to stimulate the dying politics in Jamaica; we need the youth dem fi brainstorm, hold dem panel discussion and get new ideas fi the budget, the economy and the society. Stop choking the youths.

"We need people who will make the society better and in order fi do that the youths need free thinking fi make the ting better. It naa go get better until the dinosaur dem realise sey we need some fresh youths with new ideas, cause dem have good ideas and them need fi get them out."
