Emphasising the importance of a system of public accountability and transparency, former Jamaica Prime Minister Portia Simpson-Miller says that as the country prepares for general and regional elections next year, politicians must embrace these principles to create “trust” in government and in national institutions.
Simpson-Miller made the observation on Thursday night at the Marriott Hotel, in Georgetown, where she was the featured speaker at the Georgetown Chamber of Commerce and Industry’s (GCCI)’s 130th anniversary celebration and awards gala.
