  2. There are many laws of Jamaica that need to be reviewed, as many from the colonial era remain in force, which have no place in modern day Jamaica post independence, example the 1843 Town and Countries Act ( Amended 2014 ) and the Obeah Act 1833.

  3. The government orchestrated this move by officers… them want to bring this maroon territory in focus because of something them goodly have on paper…Mr chang give the public a hint… the maroon them fi defend them land by any means necessary..

  4. Rightfully so.
    Alot to discuss.
    I doubt any parliamentarian have adequate knowldege of the Maroon Treaty.
    But, I think it’s for all of them to talk.😊🙏🙏
    The Government of Jamaica shud show respect to Maroons and have some real cultural relationships with them.
    NO DIVISION..
    Just understand the lines and have some decent dialogues

  5. The government of Jamaica is placing and exerting their energies in the wrong area. How about fighting crime and corruption? How about creating more jobs? How about stopping the further depletion of our natural resources to overseas entities? Why interfere with a part of our rich heritage. This government has an upside down way of thing. As the saying goes “dumpy know who fi frighten…”

    1. Jamaican government does not make any actual decisions about our country, the are just the face to keep trick the people the British does it all at this point Jamaica if just a big stock split between a few investors and we the people are the motor keep the investmest passive and now the want the last piece of land that is keeping the island alive, just think about Haiti and say that not how I want my kid to live in the future

  6. Horace Chang you will regret your foolishness and the JCF don’t have Jurisdiction over the Maroon the Maroon freedom is forever not until the Government feel them want the land…

  7. I think the issue really is that the police went to steal the people’s ganja.
    This is wrong.
    Legalize ganja fully.

  8. As a member of the diaspora Dr. Horace Chang owe the Maroons and the people of Jamaica a public apology. A group of people needs to go to his office and give him a good history lesson. Any child who is fully conversant of Jamaican history can do that in a few minutes. In short Dr. Chang, the Emancipation Day and Independence celebration that we just had is all on account of the Maroons. The fact the you can hold office as the Ministry of Security can be attributed to the Maroons and all those who fight for our freedom and independence. With this sort of attitude no wonder the government is hell bent on mining in the Cockpit Country.

    1. When the maroons captured and returned runaways like themselves? They caught and returned Paul Bogle. I am not impressed by their action then nor am I now.

  9. I’ve never heard the Maroons speak out against anything done to Jamaicans in Jamaica! Always speak for themselves and themselves only! Because as far as they’re concerned, they’re not JAMAICANS
