I am your host, Melanie Byfield joining you at a time when we are waiting for the issue of Jamaica’s final court of appeal to be resolved. So, that flat tire still needs to be fixed so we can, in reality, carry on with Jamaica’s journey to becoming a republic. And I say in reality because you can wash the car, check the oil, clean up the inside, refill the washer fluid, all relevant right, but if you have a flat tire, you’re not going anywhere. We have everything. Spare tire, jack, wheel wedge, wrench, - the wheel dem lock - nuh worry yuhself - wi have everyting. No reason why it can’t fix, right.

We may have a flat tire but I say don't watch that. We always knew this was going to be a road with whole heap of pot holes - some of them real big, but while it's not an easy road, we fully expect to reach the destination.
