They have a sex offenders register which is kept secret from citizens.
Shouldn’t those conversations happened before they were allowed in the first place?!
She’s So Right About This Man getting special Privileges & Treatment in Hospital for breaking his Risk when others with more Serious Medical Conditions have to sit outside under a Tree and in wheelchair bcoz there no Beds available but they Found one for Him Quick & Fast
I'm glad the Ministry came up with that rule.
Well done Mr Paterson can’t leave Jamaica future and value of Jamaica in the hands of foreign agents ….. Jamaica for Jamaican we suffer under foreign agents we need to take control of our own future ….
Why y didn't fill those positions when you was in the house for ten years
Yes because they don't care about the poor people who put them where they are, in Jamaica poor people don't have no talk, very unfair and is our moeny paying them
I am one hundred 💯 with you. You are the only minister that means standing up for the right of the people ❤👍👏

Actually not true! Why weren't the standards and measures put into effect before all of this? The govt., are the ones to take responsibility for not properly implementing these necessary and lawful policies and measures to monitor our commuters and drivers safely! Just another show of not being proactive but reactive to take blame away from themselves! Poor governance as usual!
the jamaican justice system failed this school teacher. where is the outcry. questions should be put to them. banning apps is only taking attention from themselves. questions should be asked of the judge that let that rapist go. the security minister should be asked why policies and guidelines were not put in place BEFORE he brought in foreign entities on the jamaican people. we are not asking the right questions of these people who have been in office for DECADES and we are not any safer.

Family should sue the government! No sex offenders register!!!! How come???
All these ride share drivers should be crb checked and they're given registered id number..and the journey be tracked.. The company should be also held and charged for this recklessness
What's the matter with the Jamaican criminal justice system? It lets offenders having committed multiple crimes circulate freely among people. That young women's death is especially tragic because she was thoroughly let down by the government's ineptitude in handling repeat offenders.
Poor lady I feel for her and her family. That horrible man took her life and he was only meant to give her a ride to work 😢
PJ come with is racism against Markie G but when you were there for so many years why didn’t you change the constitution,in the Labourite party are they all Jamaican? How long you pj in power all of Jamaica should have electricity,water, road transport you help sell out Jamaica 🐟 come off mark Golden back he is a born Jamaican our leader born yah and him nah left yah ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Why hiding his name and picture? Put out the rapist picture.
That bad the health minister and other minister plus police officers, soldiers, firefighters, doctors and nurses get better care than anyone in Jamaica. Plus a 2% off for buying cars, houses , appliances and furniture.

SO TRUE AND ME weh work with MPM AND A CLEAN DI GARBAGE 🗑️🚮 NOT GETTING thous benefit 😢 nuh body nuh care bout me but yet still garbage is important smh
Well said, Mr. Patterson
So him no reach to the end of the world yet lol😂
Its about time and it shold be at least 5 yrs.
You can not have a sex offenders system set up in Jamaica and have Jamaican Woking to keep the data base on record protected. It can not work like England, Wales and Europe. It got to be an independent body outside of Jamaica rulings to run a cyber intelligence system set up. People in Jamaica chat what kind of 9 to 5 they do daily and that is major issues. Also Jamaican love to protect friends and family members who them have has celebrity and entertainers.
Pj Patterson is the boss
2 late if the right thing was done this teacher would b alive 2day. Y the security system always close the gate when the horse gallop through? Dem full of it pure mout.
People who live in the various garrisons will tell you that you don't have to be a sworn member of a particular gang to be a member. You are automatically a member of the gang that controls your section of the community. So, no one is safe when your rival pulls up on your street on a reprisal ops.
Yes Daryl after the horse gone through the gate??? You should have instituted the measures your'e now talking about.Usual reactive action of this government.
Sex offender picture should be expose
That's been the way of the world for hundreds of years, but what you are not saying about Tufton he is the only health minister who is guaranteeing upgraded hospitals for every Jamaican, after 18yr pnp never care, why now?.
Patterson go lie down beside tuftan, you a fight against Mark Golding, Michael Manley wouldn't make them talk whey you talk
Although that person after exposed can change up identity to continue carry out their act
talk true pj this is the laws not about pnp or jlp the laws go to every one’s
So one question what about the other people in parliament leave a party and all of that what about them is them Jamaica citizen Canada, England, Israel, all over that no one know that❤
Those bikes.also need to shut down those use them to commit crimes.in jamaica fr ny
Burchelll you are right you say right thi g
FACTS THAT WAS PLAN ABOUT TRANSPORTATION AND WY THIS WAS NOT IMPLIMENT FROM YRS BEFORE GOV DO NOT CARE ABOUT NO CRIME😊

@@maxinerichardson1493 yup and you know what's so sad about that.i was there because my Mom was terminally ill.my mom passed away mere weeks after I came back to the states.so my sister's would be preparing both funerals.if they found my body.God is good.
Probably him purposely look for women to pick up to take them away. Sex offenders must be exposed
When ppl get deported to ja their file shld be given to ja authority so they can know what criminals are sent to roam the streets of ja .many ppl disappeared in thin air by many of those serial criminals dumped in ja and rubbing shoulder with decent ppl
Here we go again, being reactive rather than proactive.
Can we all pray for a bold, fearless God-fearing, gifted leaders like Burkina Faso's president Ibrahim Troare and Mia Mottley of Barbados? These are doing great for their countries. It's not height of education or charismaticism or ones colour or race that makes him/her effective leaders...its the good stewardship of hard work, patrioticism and love for his/her people, its the of intelligence of farsightedness foresight, insights annd common sense! Standing and intermingling with the people on common ground! All our leaders here are up-town mentally ....they don't see or feel what the average people citizens experiences on a daily basis! Every country with black majority people need leaders like Burkina Faso's president Ibrahim Troare and Mia Mottley who can inspire them to love themselves... because of this fact, that most black people hate themselves and can be easily be influence by others to sell their own and be divided among themselves...colonized minds mentality inheritance!
So Mark have time tO renounce and get in place before PM call😂 for snap election
We are throwing out the bath pan with the water…. Vas has his own agenda…. Again the Jamaican politicians fail to act in a way that makes sense…..fix the problem with the app….it can work
❤Bruce
Camera needed all over in jamaica
Save yu party PJ 😂😂
How was it falls he did get a bed and he meet accedent
The man have is money
You are the ones who accommodated these ride sharing taxis without proper oversight. Now you (the government) are pretending that it's the investors of these companies that have violated certain technological rules and provisions. THIS govt., is so hypocritical and we are observing your deceitful and wanton disregard for proper contract and applicable laws for certain business operations. Who granted these ride sharing companies licences to operate in Jamaica without putting in place the correct measures in terms of information sharing, monitoring/tracking, background check of drivers and operators and reporting to the public the progress and activities of these companies? If you can reason and recollect accurately, you'll realize who blundered and committed the initial crime! The govt,. must be held accountable for negligence and breaches that have endangered the lives of citizens!
Fish old boy pj you a Jamaica and you in power so long no road no water no light you a races to fish boy pl leave mark golden look what going on in labourite party
