People’s National Party (PNP) deputy general secretary Dr Paul Blake has painted a grim picture of the hardships facing Jamaicans, pointing to rising food insecurity, youth unemployment and families struggling to make ends meet.
Addressing the public session of the PNP’s 88th annual conference at Independence Park in Savanna-la-Mar, Westmoreland, on Sunday, Blake said too many Jamaicans were being forced to make difficult choices simply to survive.
“People are walking with calculators in the supermarket. They are checking the price, and they are putting it back,” Blake said.
