Lead, Trinidad
Dear Editor,
We should have mutual assistance treaties in relation to economic challenges with all those countries with which we have mutual assistance treaties for the detection and prosecution of crimes, while it is well known that national economic challenges often have their origins in corruption, of which crime is a species.
In this connection, it is recognised that there are established institutions for public finance of treaty and non-treaty members, but there should be no harm in members such as the United States, Britain, Canada and Trinidad, our trading partners, coming together at this time to grant us a soft loan. I think Trinidad should lead the charge, for if Jamaica goes down, so will Trinidad, because of its strong dependency on trade with Jamaica and the enormous wealth it has earned in trading and profits from the acquisition of Jamaican assets.
