1. I know many people will think it doesn't matter,not with all the serious things facing #Jamaica at this time.But I get a very uncomfortable feeling when I can see in real time the Office of the Prime Minister creating a false record on its website.#AccessToInformation #COVID19 2. The Office of the Prime Minister has been falsifying the dates on which it has been posting the Gazetted copies of the Disaster Risk Management Orders.Why is the OPM invested in creating a false record on this official government website? #AccessToInformation #COVID19 #Jamaica

1. When I read this article in the Sunday Gleaner early this morning, I was concerned...yet again...The utter disregard for the safety and well-being of road users during the roadworks across the Corporate Area has been going on for years now. #backtoschool #roadworksJA #Jamaica 2. The article focuses on parents' fears for children's safety where road construction is ongoing. School starts back this wk for some. Inadequacy of @NWA_JA's Stephen Shaw's quoted response led me to decide to take a look at one area myself. #backtoschool #roadworksJA #Jamaica

1. I looked at @themohgovjm's social media accounts to see how much they've been used to give information about the flu & flu alert. My comments are obviously not a review of the entirety of the Ministry's efforts; I'm not commenting on radio/TV/print/town halls/etc. #FluJASM 2. I focussed on the number of posts which mentioned flu, but made no assessment of the type of post, eg informational post originating from @themohgovjm, reposting of news report, reply to comment/query from another account, etc. #FluJASM

At the Supreme Court now, waiting for the start of the #NIDSCourtCase. There is a wall of quotes about justice near the entrance. #Jamaica Court now in session, as CJ Sykes, Justices Batts & Palmer Harrison begin hearing the matter. QC Michael Hylton (representing claimants) introduces the attorneys appearing in the matter, including AG Malahoo Forte QC. Says both sides ready to begin. #NIDSCourtCase #Jamaica
