Opposition names Shadow CabinetWell the general elections in Jamaica are now history (thankfully). The JLP defeated the PNP to take charge of the affairs of the nation. Please see my page on the 2007 Election for more. Now opposition leader, Portia Simpson Miller has named St. Ann South East, Member of Parliament (MP) Lisa Hanna and Central Manchester MP Peter Bunting to the list of 15 spokespersons for the party. Miss Hanna, a newcomer to representational politics, will shadow the portfolio of information and youth, while Mr. Bunting has been asked to speak on matters relating to industry and commerce.

National Hurricane Clean-Up Project kicked offToday, September 30 and yesterday, were designated as a national day for clean up after Hurricane Dean's passing. You will recall I said that most of the island was spared, but there is still some work to be done, especially in the areas most affected. Chief Executive Officer of the Private Sector Organization of Jamaica (PSOJ), Sandra Glasgow, had appealed for members of the PSOJ to make contributions to the cause. From yesterday's report, a lot was achieved.
