Jamaican PM opens newspaper column

Tuesday, August 11, 2015. Aaron Humes Reporting: The Jamaica Gleaner reports that sister newspaper the Star will from next Monday feature a column written by Prime Minister Portia Simpson Miller.  

Simpson Miller is to provide answers to questions from the public in a feature titled ‘Ask Your Prime Minister’.

Political analyst, Kevin O’Brien Chang, says the move is a step in the right direction. How

ever, he says the Prime Minister appears to be “hiding behind people”.

“When you send an email to her, it doesn’t mean she’s the one answering. I can’t think of any other mature democracy where the leader has not given a press conference”, Chang said.

PM Simpson Miller, in her second term, can be reached by email ([email protected]); on Facebook (Facebook.com/JamaicaHouse); and on Twitter  (hashtag #askyourprimeminister).
