State of Local Government in Jamaica: A Portrait of the Municipal Corporations

Written as a patriotic act by a Jamaican academic, griot-scholar, engaged citizen, and public affairs commentator, this book shines a klieg light on the roles and functions of Local Government Authorities - the Municipal Corporations - and assesses their effectiveness in performing their mandate. The author curates prescriptions for transforming the Municipal Corporations and ends with a call to his fellow Jamaicans to perform their duty as citizens in holding their representatives in the Municipal Corporations accountable.
