National Security policy adviser Professor Raymond Clayton is appealing to both the Government and Opposition to set aside their differences and allow the Zone of Special Operations to be used effectively.
Speaking with Guardian Media yesterday, Clayton, who advised the Jamaican Government to implement the policy, which is still in effect, said that for it to work, there needs to be complete buy-in, as it requires decades-long implementation.
“This is a long-term commitment. And you’re measuring not in terms of months or years; you’re really talking about several decades. It may take something like 20 years to actually resolve the social problems because they are deeply embedded; they are rooted in these communities, and they cannot be fixed overnight.”
