Hundreds of Jamaicans gathered in Cross Roads, St Andrew, this morning to protest and raise concerns about what they say is a country mired in corruption and lacking moral and ethical leadership.

The protesters, who wore yellow and represented a wide cross-section of society, criticised the Government for entering into a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with the United States to accept third-country nationals, a development first reported by The Gleaner two weeks ago.

Participant after participant expressed the view that the Government had disrespected the Jamaican people by failing to respond to questions about the details of the MOU.
