Jamaica's greatest problem is not economic. We are having a leadership crisis in this country. It appears to me that national development is not on the top on the political agenda in this country. Preservation of power at all cost seems to be the overriding force that influences the decisions made by our leaders. Our leaders are consumed by their own priviate agendas. These agendas are often diametrically opposed to the nation's best interest. We need a renewal of leadership in this country.
Political leadership in this country is allowed to operate at a mediocre level because of the silence of church leaders, business leaders, leaders in education and civic society. We have imbibed the intoxicating wine of silence. We have relinguished the running of this country to a set of inept politicians. The church needs to recapture its prophetic voice and action.
Where there is poor leadership there will be poor followship. The silent leadership core in this country needs to rise and educate the followship so that we can take our politics more seriously.
