MAJ Points to Offers of Support for Law and Order Campaign Still Awaiting Government Support |

The Media Association Jamaica Limited, (MAJ), notes that it has been accused of perpetuating negatives and hysteria rather than solutions because the association has said it does not believe that meeting with feuding deejays at Jamaica House was a good idea. The Association wishes the facts to speak for themselves. In March, the Association called for support in a cross sectoral campaign to rid buses, taxis, bus parks and public spaces of lewd and vulgar music. Since August the MAJ has been working with the National Transformation Programme in the Office of the Prime Minister to develop and carry out a campaign for a fresh start, for renewal and for promoting positive behaviour among Jamaican citizens. In November, the MAJ wrote the Police Commissioner’s Office, the Ministry of National Security and the Ministry of Transport, offering $6-million in initial media support for a campaign to rid buses of tints, vulgar music and unbecoming behaviour. To date, no response has been received to those offers, but we stand ready to work. |
