Dear Editor,

I saw clippings of two recent utterances from Prime Minister Andrew Holness that have prompted my writing.

Firstly, I saw on Facebook a video of Holness riding a bicycle on a night tour around Kingston. The video also shows his security contingency behind him in Land Rovers as part of his motorcade. The most eloquent PM is then seen encouraging us to do the same and see the city via bicycle.

Holness does not, however, make clear if he will make his security detail available to us to safeguard us as they ensured his safety.

Next up, I heard the PM speaking about his intent the get the guns. Instead of speaking — as he is so good at doing — why not just get on and do it? How many times has he said he will go after the gangs, get tougher on crime, yet nothing changes.

PM Holness is a clear subscriber to the Jamaican adage “Mouth mek fi chat,” and he should be increasingly mindful of those of us who voted for him expecting better but now realise that it is better to judge a man by his deeds not his words.
