The speaker discusses corruption in Jamaica and calls on citizens to take responsibility in addressing it. Some key points: - Corruption is perceived as a serious problem in Jamaica according to surveys, though the scale may not be as large as in some other countries. - Lack of trust in government and between citizens is undermining the economy, as it increases transaction costs and discourages business activity. - While leadership failures have contributed to corruption, citizens must also change their own behaviors and demand accountability. - National pride remains strong in Jamaica despite issues, and citizens want the country to succeed if problems are addressed. Everyone must play a role through open debate and collective solutions.
