THE EDITOR, Sir:

WHAT ARE these politicians bringing to the table? Mr. Golding's pie-in-the-sky economics and Mrs. Portia Simpson Miller's charismatic mannerisms? At the end of the day, the poor are getting poorer and still cannot feed their children.

Where are the citizens with backbone that will stand up and say enough, please, lead by example. At what point do our elected officials stop being masters of those who elected them? The people of Jamaica must understand that these politicians work for us the citizens. They are not lords, but servants to us the electorate. We elected them to create a process of socioeconomic development for the nation.

It is time we wake up from our stupor and take back our country and move it in the direction we want it to go. The political condition in Jamaica is likened to the horse riding the jockey. My father is weeping in his grave to see the condition of Jamaica.

I am, etc.,
