The Public Eye With Ronald Thwaites

There is a significant difference between a punishable offence by law and a disturbance of peace. Where does the line lie? What are the civil liberties afforded to us, as Jamaicans? Law is a very blunt instrument and its application is far from even or uniformly just. 

Everything gone up! The money caan stretch. How will people manage as the dollar continues to slide against its US counterpart? Are the current conditions sustainable for our fellow Jamaicans? Our most vulnerable continue to be on the short end of the situation with no one coming to their aid. Where do we begin in remedying this situation?

Commentary on the current currency situation of the Jamaican Dollar. 

Skills, training, pay offs and the Jamaican Hustle..."betta mi buy it" or better to take time to learn, perfect and safeguard your craft? How we steer away from "write or left", towards obedience and safety on our roads? It's high time that our road safety laws be updated to the times we're in, so we can walk good.

An exploration of the importance of trust throughout aspects of Jamaican culture, society, and government.  

The value of trust is cultivated and therein authenticated through actions and not empty promises. 

In this episode, we welcome guest, Peter Rose, head of the Rockhouse Foundation. The Foundation was founded in 2003 with an initial focus on improving the infrastructure of public primary schools, primarily in West Jamaica. We discuss the Foundation's beginning, its various school partnerships and shed light on its prized project, the Savanna-la-Mar Inclusive Infant Academy. Sav Inclusive is Jamaica’s first, and only mixed ability, full inclusion model school in Westmoreland’s capital city of Savanna-la-Mar.
