THE PEOPLE'S National Party Policy Commission has come out strongly against the allocation of jobs based on party affiliation citing that the diminishing returns to this practice is now costing the country too much.In a document presented at a Joint Executive/Parliamentary Group meeting of the party last month, the commission called for an end to the practice and suggested ways to confront the problem being supported by members of both the People's National Party and the Jamaica Labour Party.
Pointing to the Temple Hall murders in St. Andrew last year the commission explained among other things that it will take a mammoth effort from several sectors in the society to transform the current tribal distribution of Government jobs and contracts.
"We should await neither more political murders nor further electoral decline to advance the break with tribalism immediately," ex-plained the commission in the document.
Last year the communities of Brandon Hill, Golden Spring, Temple Hall and parts of Stony Hill in West Rural St. Andrew were rocked by a triple murder over a $100 million road work project.
