Maybe I'm missing something but I'm a little disappointed with this interview (located at the bottom of this post). Is there a part 2? If so, where can I find it? Why would you tip toe around the REAL topics? From the moment I saw this I really wondered why would The Gleaner ask the CEO of JPS what kind of food she ate and what kind of music she listened to without following up with at least ONE substantial question about the direction the company is going in, especially when there's some real questions I have on my mind.
Like, why the hell are the prices so high?
Do you remember that ranting video that Vybz Kartel posted about JPS increasing the prices substantially once they realized that he was the one paying the bill?
Allow me to refresh your memory:
Did you know that if you live in Jamaica, you are forced to pay an electricity bill that can be close to and sometimes even higher than your RENT?! Am I the only one who find that insane?
The craziest part of all of this is that Jamaica is a tropical island, Jamaica is KNOWN for sunshine and radiance. Citizens of Jamaica can easily invest in solar panels and live the rest of their lives JPS-FREE because the good Lord has provided us with an abundance of sunshine to light a house, energize a generator with the option of hot water for FREE. Of course, you would have to pay for the actual solar panels but even the price of that isn't much compared to the amount the average patron pays JPS.
Did you know that china sells these panels for pretty cheap and there are NO IMPORT FEES associated with solar materials when shipping to Jamaica? You can find them at www.Alibaba.com.
For a matter of fact, how does Ms. CEO of JPS feel about this? I would have definitely asked her about her stance on solar panels. Does she see it as a threat or is she hoping that Jamaicans wont take it to that level? While they continue to suck out society's cash-flow.
How about the hurricanes, are citizens still paying for past hurricane damages? Why?
Or better yet, since the price of oil is dropping, will the citizens begin to see a decrease on their monthly statement?
I have a ton of questions to ask Ms. JPS, what about you?
If you had the opportunity to ask the CEO of JPS a question, what would you ask her?
I'm going to politely assume that Part 2 of this video gets in better depth, but just in case, lets help the Gleaner out by providing them a few questions of your own. If you had the opportunity to ask the CEO of JPS a question, what would it be?

how it can be illegal to have another service provider and not use JPS and why they abuse the power this monopoly gives them. Also why they charge in US dollars when operating in a country where that isn't the national currency and why having a business means you should get charged a triple rate. ask her that for me
Well i Would ask her,why is that we as jamaicans are paying more on electricity than a first world counrty that as millions of people,some counries half a billion of ppl, but yet still we pay more,when we are just 2.8 population of ppl,my question is why is that ? less ppl means a consume of less engery,so someone plz do the maths for me,becuz why is electricity more for jamaicans than a fist world counrty of so muhc millions of ppl thats using electricty in the highest standards also, a fuckn Rip off,no wonder why ppl think that we are fuckn eliterate yes becuz we have some fuckn eliterate elective goverments fuck dem all,selln out our beautiful country of jamaica like she is a fuckn whore,Fuck em !!!!
thats something i've been wondering myself, I live in the US and I don't think i could even afford what JA'cans are paying for energy. I always said that if i owned a home in Jamaica i would install solar panels because JPS not gonna get the best of me
thats so tru,it hust my heart sometimes when i see how dem take us as jamaicans living in jamaica for fuckn fools, when the picture is so clear,on what we Should be focusing on, instead they play politrix,none of dem are interested in protectn the good qualities of jamaica & jamaicans as a nation, and let me just clarify something ever so often i here some stero type ppl sayn that all we jamaicans do is blame the politicians, and not our selves, well let me tell those people this, the persons in power job is to be the voice of the people and its nation,so if that voice is going into a wrong dirrection then so is the nation,so hell fuckn yeah the politicians are to be Blame (fuck Em),so if the counrty nah run right and your the leader,then weh you fah,fuck you and step down then and let us as the people be our own voices then,and to elect who we want to put incharge and drop dem out as he are she slips up.fuck em all the politicians comes in and do and say the same things, u can just simple google and check bk and you tell me the different,they all do nothing for our riches culture which is Reggae music from Bob marleys inpact on the world,nor all the other great entertainers that we have introduce to the world,look there is no structure with in even the entertainment industry that we have today infact there is no industry every is free lancing there is no structure,plus they do nothing for sport if if u think iam lie´n name me one sport compelx academy school in jamaica that is specialise in training athlets none,food and agriculture i dont think i have to go any futhure fuck em, politics in jamaica is what divid us and distroys us...........
my mom and i were having a big discussion on this yesterday, she was explaining to me how 3rd world countries run a lot different from 1st world because 1st world government tries to garner power and recognition while 3rd world try to funnel money for their own personal gain. The fact is that all of this has been going on for as long as anyone can remember and through the years, its only changed for the worse. smh #sinking ship
