The Editor, Sir:

I was in no way surprised by Prime Minister Portia Simpson Miller's feebleminded performance in Parliament last week. The Opposition, armed with very well thought out questions addressing matters of national importance, was not able to extract substantive responses from the prime minister. Instead, they and the television news viewing public were treated to an embarrassing display on the part of the prime minister, who was clearly unable to adequately address any of the questions posed.

The prime minister needs to seriously focus on addressing some of our nation's most troubling problems. There is absolutely no way that our prime minister can hug, kiss and bicker away our staggering social and economic problems. She is yet to give any substantive indication of being committed to principles of good governance. Corruption, mismanagement and profligacy continue to plague the current administration and there is yet to be any sign of redress.

How else can a senior minister boast that the scandal-ridden Sandals Whitehouse project was 'value for money'. Further yet, the repercussions of the cement crisis continue to be felt across the nation. Yet, to date Minister Paulwell is yet to be dismissed.

I am, etc.,
