PNP launches 10-pillar 'Mission Jamaica Love' manifesto

Opposition Leader Mark Golding says the just-released People's National Party manifesto stands on 10 pillars that will build Jamaica.
Golding, who was speaking at the Jamaica Pegasus Hotel in New Kingston, during the launch of the document, titled 'Mission Jamaica Love, A People's Pledge to Country', said the benefits of national development have not reached far enough.
He said interior roads in every parish are in deplorable condition and many communities do not have access to water in their homes.
"Urban blight and decay plague our cities, while rural Jamaica has been left behind. Farm roads are impassable, irrigation is inadequate and outdated, and farmers lack the tools, machinery and support systems to produce and prosper," said Golding.
He said the 60-page manifesto is the PNP's plan for a new chapter built on its vision, Jamaica Love.
The PNP president said the plans stand on: justice for all, access to quality education, modern infrastructure, agriculture and food security, innovation and industry, care for the vulnerable, accountability in governance, land and housing, opportunity for youth, violence prevention, and environmental resilience.
He said the pillars are a compass.
"They will guide us to invest in people, close the gaps between uptown and downtown, between tourism zones and rural parishes, between the well-connected few who thrive while the majority feel neglected and dejected," the PNP president said.
He said a future PNP government will protect economic stability and leverage it into inclusive and sustainable growth, creating a new era of opportunities for those who are now excluded from prosperity while tackling corruption and the abuse of power in governance.
"Jamaica, Time Come to lift our country higher and build a future that belongs to all of us. Let us take this journey together," Golding said.
