Business sector urges Bruce to come clean

lack of connection to a higher source

“We really need a situation where the people can move forward instead of dividing and tricking each other,” said Wallace, adding that it was mistrust and uncertainty that was keeping the country at a standstill.

“When we have leaders who believe they have to trick people and lie to stay in power, I believe it is a lack of connection to a higher source. Until we move forward, I really don’t see Jamaica becoming better,”

Carey Wallace, president of the Negril Chamber of Commerce

Whoever is in power as prime minister

“It puts back on the table whether there is enough disclosure for us to conclude that the matter has been adequately dealt with, said Hamilton, noting it was not so much a political issue as one of good governance.

“Whoever is in power as prime minister of this country must be willing to stand accountable to the people who put them in that post.”

Dr Rosalea Hamilton, head of the Micro, Small and Medium Size Enterprises Alliance

an important matter of governance

“The fact is, it’s an important matter of governance, an important matter of transparency accountability. This is something we should all be striving for,”

Wayne Chen, president of the Jamaica Employers‘ Federation

competent leadership with high levels of integrity

“This country desperately requires competent leadership with high levels of integrity, which is truly committed to the principles of sustainable national development and repudiates the duplicity, cronyism and the tacit endorsement of criminal gangs that has dogged our politics for generations.”

Earl Delisser, president of the NDM

brutally honest

“The role of the manager is to be the most honest person that that artiste has around dem. You gotta be brutally honest wid dem, you gotta be able to guide dem in their strengths and help them overcome their weaknesses as an act. You have to have the ability to engage the services of others who can help to move the product forward. You have to have the ability to realise its a product and that you need to take care of the business end of things and you’re not there to be a celebrity like the artiste.”

Producer and manager Jeremy Harding
