KINGSTON, Jamaica — Prime Minister Andrew Holness has praised the residents of St Elizabeth for the significant reduction in murders in the parish this year.
“I was informed this morning that the parish continues to do well from the last time I got an update last month that there is only one murder reported in the parish and that you are tracking 80 per cent behind where you were last year, and these are some amazing statistics. It goes to show that peace is achievable, peace is possible, none of you here, I can say with a great sense of certainty is causing, creating and contributing to crime and violence in your parish. It is but a few, maybe less than one per cent of the population who are the cause of criminality and violence,” Holness said.
