KINGSTON, Jamaica — The call for an urgent review of the Firearms Act has been joined by Opposition Spokesperson on Justice Zuleika Jess, who has slammed her fellow lawmakers for passing what she described as “absurdity”.
The law was passed before Jess, a first-term Member of Parliament for St Elizabeth Eastern, was elected to the House of Representatives following the 2025 general election.
“The primary duty of this House is to pass laws that deliver justice, not absurdity, said Jess in her maiden contribution to the Sectoral Debate on June 4, as she took aim at what she asserted was flawed legislation and a “glaring crisis in our judicial system”.
