I found the article in the of Gleaner of 29th June 29, entitled “Patterson to receive region’s highest honour” quite enlightening and I wonder if the entire Jamaican population should not be thinking on these things, so to speak.
According to the article “Former Prime Minister PJ Patterson , an avid cricket fan, (my emphasis)leaves the island tomorrow for the opening ceremony of the 30th meeting of the region’s heads, where he will receive the Order of the Caribbean Community”. When one reads this article and recalls the comments made buy his former Minister of Industry Claude Clarke in the article published in the Gleaner of the 14th June 2009, entitled “Caricom: killing us softly” and recall the over $300 million which it was revealed last week that we now have to “hug up” from the cricket world cup fiasco, one cannot but wonder if Mr. Patterson’s term as prime minister of Jamaica was not overall more beneficial to Caricom than to Jamaica. No wonder the honour!
I write from the heart, whether it is about topical issues or my many treks all over the world. I enjoy sharing my thoughts and experiences with readers and getting valuable feedback.
