Jamaica To Advance Job Descriptions For Parliamentarians

JAMAICA – Jamaica’s Prime Minister, Andrew Holness, says his government will advance the process to formally institute job descriptions for parliamentarians.

He noted that the job descriptions will make clear: “What the public rightly expects its elected representatives to do; regular attendance and active participation in sittings and committees, diligent oversight of ministries and agencies, transparent and ethical use of public resources and continuous visible engagement with constituents.”

The process will also create a framework to measure performance, improve accountability and strengthen public trust in institutions.
