Fifty years after its inception, the proposed objectives of the Caribbean Community (Caricom) largely remains a pipe dream marred by a failure to deliver on much of the intended outcomes, stakeholders across the region have asserted.
Speaking in different interviews with the Jamaica Observer this week, several heads of local organisations have said that while there is hope for the regional body to deliver on a number of the objectives, there is much work to be done.
President of the Private Sector Organisation of Jamaica (PSOJ) Metry Seaga shared the view that while Caricom is a good idea and has a place, “there is much room for improvement”.
“There are too many anomalies that exist in Caricom and we need to get them fixed,” he stated, citing a multitude of issues regarding trade and the general movement of goods and services between member countries among the most pressing areas of concern.
