Dr Horace Chang
National Security Minister Dr Horace Chang has invited his parliamentary colleagues to take the politics out of crime fighting as the authorities grapple with a spike in serious crimes which has left 131 people murdered in the month of January.
“I invite my colleague parliamentarians from the Opposition to join the government in implementing this comprehensive, coordinated, and integrative approach to fighting crime, which is Plan Secure Jamaica. No longer can we afford to politicise crime fighting. The people of Jamaica deserve better,” Chang stated as he addressed the House of Representatives on Tuesday.
He noted that to implement the plan over seven years would cost some US$1.2 billion (J$176 billion)
