CONTRACTOR GENERAL ARGUES THAT THERE IS NO POLITICAL WILL TO FIGHT THE SCOURGE OF CORRUPTION IN PUBLIC CONTRACTING IN JAMAICA
Contractor General of Jamaica, Greg Christie speaking at the Seventh Annual CIN Lecture Series in New York at the historic Schomburg Center in Harlem on October 26, 2011


Geg Christie wows them in New York

Contractor General, Greg Christie on Wednesday night at the CIN Lecture Series speaking to a packed audience at the Schomburg Centre, criticized the Jamaican Government for not doing enough to stomp out corruption.

He spoke for over an hour to an audience which reacted positively during his discourse and interrupted his speech several times with applause.

For a summary of his speech , see below and if you want to see the entire speech go to the OCG's website: www.ocg.gov.jm

Contractor General, Greg Christie, in delivering the Seventh Annual Lecture in the Caribbean International Network (CIN) Lecture Series in New York last night, chronicled several reasons which substantiate his view that there is a lack of Political Will to seriously fight corruption in public contracting in Jamaica.

In a 90 minute presentation, which was delivered to members of the Jamaican and Caribbean Diaspora, at the historic Schomburg Center in Harlem, the Contractor General cited, among other things, critical deficiencies that have existed in the Contractor General Act for 28 years, which no Administration had seen it fit to fix.

In particular, Mr. Christie alluded to the failure of the State to entrench the Office of the Contractor General (OCG) in the Constitution of Jamaica to protect it from political interference, to give the OCG the power to halt a Government contracting process that was exhibiting signs of corruption or irregularity, and to increase the sanctions for criminal offences under the Act.

He also chronicled a slew of obstacles which he has had to face in the discharge of his mandates under the Contractor General Act. Among these, he alluded to the Administration’s double standard on the issue of State asset divestments, attempts at intimidation and politicization of the OCG, the lack of prosecutions regarding matters that had been referred by the OCG to the Director of Public Prosecutions, and the failure on the part of Public Bodies, earlier in his tenure, to comply with the lawful requisitions of the OCG.

In his wide-ranging address, the Contractor General also listed over 25 formal remedial recommendations which he said had been made by the OCG to the Legislative and the Executive arms of the State, but which, to date, had been essentially ignored.

The 'Dudus Affair' is still very much alive, with The Gleaner recently reporting a whopping $100 million - and counting - compensation payout after the Tivoli incursion last May and the Commission of Enquiry into the whole matter of Christopher Coke's extradition looming.

In true comedic commentary fashion, Coke's epic pre-extradition drive made it into The Ity and Fancy Cat Show and was one of the standout skits for last season.

However, while Jamaica has long had its bellyful of laughter from the skit, New York got its official dose two Sundays ago on Caribbean International Network (CIN).

It is the second season on CIN and the station's CEO Stephen Hill says The Ity and Fancy Cat Show has had a major impact which he has not seen since the 'Oliver' series which CIN started with 16 years ago.

RONNIE TWAITES LECTURES AT NEW YORK’S SCHOMBURG CENTER

The Hon. Rev. Ronald G. Thwaites, delivering the sixth annual Caribbean International Network, (CIN) lecture at Harlem’s Schomburg Center for Research in African American Culture.

The Hon. Rev. Ronald G. Thwaites, BA, M.A. J.P. M.P delivered the sixth annual Caribbean International Network, (CIN) lecture at Harlem’s Schomburg Center for Research in African American Culture.

“Ronnie was at his best,” commented one of the attendees, who also listens to Rev. Thwaites daily broadcasts beamed into New York City.  A true renaissance man, he is a pastor, lawyer, scholar, author Member of Parliament, an exemplary social commentator and the host of the country’s most listened to radio program.

His remarks were humorous, illuminating and often painful. The audience roared with laughter as he wove stories about his many years as a MP from central Kingston and from his years of doing live radio. There was a celebratory air to his thoughts as he spoke on the beauty of Jamaican musical and artistic accomplishments. Such commentary was contrasted by the data he listed describing the rise in poverty, increase in fatherless homes and the alarming rate of school drop outs. One of his observations was especially alarming. “Jamaica’s per-capita income in 2007 was US $3,000 and has the second lowest growth rate of any country in the hemisphere; second only to Haiti.”
