The DNA Saga

Greetings,

Finally, the much anticipated DNA Legislation has been tabled in the House of Representatives, in Jamaica. 

I said in my latest tweet "What a long wait!!!!!". At the same time, it is better to wait than to make a hasty decision based on facts that are not in the interests of, and/or relevant, to a Caribbean jurisdiction, then face the consequences of that decision further down the road. However, it cannot be denied that the island of wood and water needs an effective crime reduction strategy to deal with its everlasting problem.

Although it may take some time, I hope the debate in the House will be constructive, informative, and productive.

Let us keep the faith.

Peace

Grace
