KINGSTON, Jamaica, Gleaner — OPPOSITION SPOKESMAN on Finance Audley Shaw has claimed that the Government has been irritating the International Monetary Fund (IMF) by having other countries lobby the multilateral on behalf of Jamaica. “Stop diverting your efforts to ask foreign governments to lobby the IMF on your behalf,” Shaw told the Portia Simpson Miller-led Govern-ment during his address to the Rotary Club of Kingston recently. According to Shaw, the lobbying efforts have become the latest in a string of actions the Government has embarked on to avoid dealing with the issues necessary to ink an IMF agreement.
