With the General Elections at hand, recently established Jamaica Progressive Party (JPP), has been making incredible promises to Jamaicans in a bid to secure votes.
Their elaborate manifesto includes clearing Jamaica of its trillions of dollars in debt and ensuring that public sector worker such as nurses, teachers and police officer are paid 600,000 monthly. The party has also declared that Jamaicans would no longer have to worry about bill payments. According to the JPP, all funding will be done by the party.
