KINGSTON, Jamaica – Calls from Foreign Trade Minister A.J. Nicholson for the parliamentary Opposition and other critics to end the bickering with Trinidad and Tobago over claims of unfair trade practices have not gone down well with members of the local manufacturing sector.
Yesterday, Christopher Zacca, president of the Private Sector Organisation of Jamaica (PSOJ), said he was “concerned by the tone of the senator's comment” during a sitting of the Upper House last Friday, and argued that Nicholson needed to take note of which country he has been called to represent.
“He should be mindful that he is a minister of the Jamaican Government, which is elected by the Jamaican people, and Jamaica is in a terrible situation,” Zacca told The Gleaner yesterday.
