KINGSTON, Jamaica—Prime Minister Andrew Holness on Friday called for a shift in Jamaicans’ outlook from short-term responses from the government to supporting long-term policies with lasting benefits.
Addressing a New Social Housing Programme handover ceremony in north west St Catherine on Friday, Holness said the prevailing expectation of immediate gains undermines effective policymaking.
“Instead of looking for a short-term gain from government, you could invest in government and your faith and trust in government for the long term. That is not currently the view, ” he said.
