Pappy Show bizness PSM and the press

[Wahalla]

We have two foreign leaders in our country, one Cameron will harangue our Parliament and the Press cant ask any questions ?????? All poltiicans have to be tested.... Pappy show.... !!!!!

Cameron is a big boy... He faces the press and his opponent across the parliament benches on a verbal confrontation.. He does hard press conferences...

When Obama visted it was bad enough there was a press conference altough he was only asked one question by a yankee journalist...and the Jamaican PM was asked one question by a local journalist ..It was recorded by Jamaican televison . Yet you cant find it on youtube...or any where on the internet..

Seaga was notorious at disliking being questioned by the press, but he did answer questions and give more information...

this PM would have been a great Governor General !!! Platitudes......

PAJ concerned about lack of local press opportunity with visiting British PM

Prime Minister David Cameron









The Press Association of Jamaica (PAJ) has written an open letter to Prime Minister Simpson-Miller expressing great concern that there will be no opportunity for the press to ask her or the British Prime Minister David Cameron questions.

According to the Government information arm, following the bi-lateral talks, both Prime Ministers will present statements, however no questions will be allowed.

A similar situation will occur during the visit of Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe on Wednesday.

In a release, the PAJ said it was especially concerned, as during the visit of US President Barack Obama, a Jamaican reporter and a American reporter were restricted to one question each.

The PAJ, says it is critically important that the press be allowed to interact with eminent visitors to Jamaica's shores where those visits concern matters of national importance.
Cameron who is scheduled to arrive on Tuesday afternoon, will be greeted by several dignitaries including Prime Minister Portia Simpson-Miller, Opposition Leader Andrew Holness and members of the Cabinet.
He will then head to Jamaica House where he will sign the visitors book and then engage in bi-lateral discussions with the Prime Minister.
On Wednesday, he will address a joint sitting of Parliament.

Huntley Medley, Director of Communication - OPM, Jamaica




The Office of the Prime Minister (OPM) in Jamaica is insisting that both the British and Japanese prime ministers had stipulated that the itinerary for their visits to Jamaica would not include meetings with the press.
"They have not asked for any press conferences for them, and so none has been scheduled," said Huntley Medley, Director of Communication at the OPM, in an interview with RJR News.

The Press Association of Jamaica (PAJ) has raised concern about the limits placed on journalists during this week's official visits. British Prime Minister David Cameron arrived at the start of a two-day visit on Tuesday afternoon, with Shinzo Abe, Prime Minister of Japan, scheduled to arrive on Wednesday afternoon.

The PAJ, in a written statement, said while it understands that the wishes of the visiting heads of government must be taken into account, it is usual for such visits to include press conferences.

"We regard it as critically important that the press be allowed to interact with eminent visitors to our shores where those visits concern matters of national importance, and wish to put on record that we view the organization of these visits as inadequate when they are limited to video and photo opportunities for the press," the PAJ said.

Mr Medley said, if the media feels strongly about the issue, there are avenues for raising concerns with to the respective missions in Jamaica.

"What can be done, and is usually done, is that, following these visits, the Government of Jamaica normally organizes a press conference, where we can report (and) take questions from the media on the issues that were covered in those visits," he said.

Really there is nothing to talk about. Jamaica is dead in the water except for Sports and Dancehall. We are of no strategic importance, worse nowadays we are more with the Chinese (for loot), than anyone else.

These world leaders merely doing Comrade PSM a favour.
(A.) They sense there might be a contest this year.
(B.) They would like to keep the PNP in place since they can depend on them at the UN or other some other forum.
So, they are in the area for the UN meetup, so just drop in on Portia ..... Win Win.
