The Civil Service

In other nations, to join the civil service
requires a high level of education.

In other nations one is given a fairly
difficult examination, then ranked before
posting.

One simply doesn't reach a position because
she can wide out her leg.

One can come to work every day for twenty
years but is never promoted beyond their
level of competence.

In other countries, the Permanent Secretary
can and does run the Ministry,while the
politician appointed as Minister can posture.

Jamaica, being a kakiscracy does it a bit
differently.

The old fling down gals are shoved into
pensionable positions so that the Big Man
can marry his new young wifeypoo without
any danger one of these old tegeregs will
make trouble.

Failed politicians, guys who made big
contributions to the Party, idiot relatives
are shoved into the civil service where
they can be trusted to screw up just
about anything.

In most cases no one notices. Things
drag on in standard confusion. It is
only when 'something happens' and one
of these morons is put on public
display that the world can appreciate
that the civil service of Jamaica is
staffed by people of extremely low
intellect and ability.

If you knew that next week you would
be called to give evidence concerning
a particular matter, you would, no
doubt review all documentation, and
endeavour to remember every thing that
was said, done, by whom, where, when,
and why.

In Jamaica, the most important thing
is hairstyle. You must insure you get
a hairdresser appointment the morning
of your appearance.

In Jamaica, you must buy a new outfit
of a certain standard.

You must have your nails done. You
must select the right jewelry.

This takes up the time where one would
be refreshing their memory so that they
would not make a perfect ass hole of
themselves before the nation.

Of course, when one deals with double
digit I.Q.s, with people who believe
'how it looks' is more important than
'what it is', you can expect that
perfectly coiffed mannequin to find
dates, times, names and places not as
important as the colour of her lipstick.

Had a person of some quality been placed
in the position; a person who know the
terms of service, who was capable of
fulfilling the role, then there would be
no need for the inquiry.

Second rate attorneys wouldn't appear
so astute questioning a person who has
an I.Q. on par with their helper.

What assists the Government in getting
away with all forms of irregularity is
that the persons installed in positions
which previously required the highest
integrity and ability are so substandard
that their evidence can not be relied
upon.

The Commissioners can not come to a
judgement based on evidence so fragile
one can not be sure of its veracity.

Golding knows the caliber of persons
appointed. He knows their testimony
is worthless.

This is why he created the Commission.
