Public says private sector good advisers

With the business community and civil society seemingly finding their voice during the imbroglio over the extradition request for alleged drug dealer Christopher 'Dudus' Coke, Jamaicans now appear convinced that they have solid advice for the Government.

Against that background, almost eight in every 10 Jamaicans are urging the political directorate to listen more to the private sector.

That is according to the latest Gleaner-commissioned Bill Johnson national opinion poll which was conducted on May 28 and 29 and June 4 and 5.

With a margin of error of plus or minus four per cent, the poll sampled the opinion of 1,008 Jamaicans islandwide.

The poll graphic for the question "IMF right for Ja?", carried on A2 of yesterday's Gleaner carried incorrect figures. Above is the graphic as it should have appeared.
