OUR VOTE IS OUR BOND

The Government of Jamaica cannot speak for the thousand of Jamaicans who receives remittances. Families and friends should decide the extent of their relationship, not the government. If the Diaspora money is being used to enrich special interest groups at the expense of the poor then is the duty of the Diaspora to demand that the question of Diaspora Voting be put to a referendum for the people to decide the extent of their relationship with Diaspora Jamaicans. Empowering the Jamaican Diaspora will break the stranglehold of special interest groups on the political and economic system who are refusing to support Diaspora Voting Rights to demand greater transparency, good governance, and prosperity for all so we don’t have to work so hard to send remittance home.
