Opposition Spokesman on National Security Peter Bunting says the people of Jamaica are in crisis.

He points to the many professionals leaving the country seeking better opportunities overseas.

According to Mr Bunting, these persons are looking out for their families.

He adds that the basics are not being done , pointing to promises by the administration including that of achieving five per cent growth in gross domestic product in four years, as being quietly forgotten.

He highlights the problems being experienced across the country in relation to garbage collection.

Meantime Mr Bunting says the PNP will continue to speak on behalf of the people.

He was speaking at the People’s National Party (PNP) Manchester North Eastern constituency conference in Cobbla on Thursday night.
