PNP has its work cut out

THE EDITOR, Sir:
I am sure that the Opposition will be returned to Government in the next election. I do, however, need to caution them not to take things for granted. The Opposition must work for it. When the People's National Party (PNP) is returned, there are a few things I would beg of them to do to cement themselves in the hearts of generations to come.
Do not set unrealistic targets and make empty promises; respect truth and honesty, because Jamaicans are more enlightened, more aware, and more insistent on accountability; make education and training the cornerstone of your government; kick-start socialisation and increase productivity; implement the Progressive Agenda of positive change, while dealing with the daily needs of citizens.
I want the PNP to remember how long it took to turn Jamaica around after the '80s. Be guided that progress and development are not achieved overnight. The building of a nation is a continuous process involving vision, hard work, and dedication, all of which I believe the PNP possesses.
I am, etc.,
JOHN POLACK
