‘Jamaica will become Haiti if PNP doesn’t form next Gov’t’ says MP aspirant
MANCHESTER, Jamaica — People’s National Party (PNP) aspirant for St Ann North Eastern Dr Ryan Simpson says Jamaica is at risk of becoming like Haiti if the Opposition doesn’t form the next government.
Simpson in addressing the party’s Bellefield Divisional Conference in Manchester on Sunday night suggested that Jamaica is at risk of descending into unrest.
“The problem is there is money in Jamaica, but only a few people are benefiting from the money. Only a handful of people are actually experiencing or beneficiaries of the wealth that is in Jamaica,” he said.
“What you have is a big disparity between the rich and the poor. I feel that Jamaica, if the People’s National Party don’t win the next general election, Jamaica is going to be the next Haiti. Mark my words,” he added.
The conference was held in support of Councillor Mario Mitchell (PNP, Bellefield division).
