My attention was drawn to a news release supposedly issued by Minister of Labour and Social Security Shahine Robinson last Tuesday regarding the robbery of care packages in Enfield, St Mary, last weekend.

An argument in the House of Representatives last week in which Jamaica Labour Party and People's National Party representatives haggled over who a stretch of road in Westmoreland Central should be named after, opened up old wounds.

A report surfaced last week that Raymond Pryce would replace Dr Winston De La Haye as the Opposition People's National Party's candidate in St Catherine East Central for the next general election.

Just look at what is happening in the constituencies, for example, St Andrew Eastern, St Andrew North Western, St Andrew West Central, and St Catherine East Central and you will see that the PNP is sending a clear message that it has no intention of winning the next general election.

One such is Powell's direct competitor, Kraigg Brathwaite, a Bajan who is averaging 33 in Tests and is more boring to watch than former cricketer and finance minister of Jamaica Noel “Crab” Nethersole.
