MP Peter Bunting made reference to popular Reggae artiste Queen Ifrica’s hit song “Corrupt System” in his contribution to the Sectoral Debate in The House yesterday

He said “This song is an eloquent and poetic example of constructive criticism. Unlike some in Opposition and media…whose consistent chorus is:

‘Crime is going up… blame the Government,’ Queen Ifrica’s song is one of concern and makes some very constructive suggestions. In fact, I will weave some of the lyrics from that song into this Sectoral Presentation.

The first excerpt I will refer to states:

‘Di first ting you haffi do is clean up the force; too much wrong people inna de right post’

This speaks to having the appropriate structures, and the right personnel and leadership.”

Minister Bunting mentioned that the security ministry will continue to engage ‘conscious’ reggae artists in helping to counter the sub-culture of violence in Jamaica, and reduce crime.
