Western Union operators pushing to implement new security measures

WESTERN BUREAU:
GraceKennedy Money Services (GKMS), operators of Western Union locally, has declared that a team has already commenced work on a system to address security concerns which have led Western Union International to shut down its 14 locations in Montego Bay, St James.
“Compliance is something we are strong on and we are currently reviewing the system,” said Patria Aarons, GKMS’s sponsorship and communication manager, who stressed her company was not pressured by the international body.
Her comments came in the wake of the instructions by Western Union International to close the 14 stores in the Second City until they implemented security measures capable of combating the multibillion-dollar lottery-scamming industry.
The stores will remain closed for a minimum of two weeks, said the order.
Acknowledging that several customers were inconvenienced by the sudden closure, Aarons said additional resources were deployed to the neighbouring parishes of Trelawny and Hanover to make the transition easier.
Aarons said she did not believe the closure would go over the intended two weeks.
CHAOS AT OUTLETS
In the meantime, there was chaos in both Hopewell, Hanover, and Falmouth, Trelawny, as customers stood in long lines, cursing both the lottery scammers, who have been blamed for the closure, and Western Union International.
Yesterday, Davon Crump, president of the Montego Bay Chamber of Commerce and Industry, threw his support behind the actions of the remittance conglomerate.
“Western Union is actually making a very big statement because, I am sure, this will also impact them financially,” Crump told The Gleaner.
“But I think the inconvenience to the citizens … pales in comparison to the damage that scamming is doing to the City of Montego Bay.”

Jamaica has no shortage of individual stars in countless areas and arenas. So it is particularly moving when individuals come together for a cause in which the sum is greater than the individual parts. The energy around Jamaica 50 has inspired this sentiment time and again. “The Voices Of Sweet Jamaica” is one way for everyone to continue to enjoy the excitement while also making a difference right here in Jamaica through the work of the Mustard Seed Communities. The point person for the project is the song’s original creator, Mr Vegas. “My friend Indra Rudder had the vision for the original song and now look how many great voices on this one track. This is truly a blessing,” he says. “I am especially happy that we will create awareness and hopefully raise a lot of money from this project to aid Mustard Seed Communities. Thanks to everyone who shared in this vision as we celebrate our independence as one Jamaica.” “This is a tremendous gift of time, talent and treasure from these musicians, some of whom are from the inner-city communities that we serve.” stated Monsignor Gregory Ramkissoon, founder of Mustard Seed Communities. “We truly appreciate Mr Vegas selecting us as beneficiaries of this life-sustaining gift to our children” If you’re thinking, “Wow, all these people are doing something good for Mustard Seed, that sounds too good to be true”, well we thought that might be the case. The forthcoming “The Voices of Sweet Jamaica” music video will put those concerns to rest. Directed by Jay Will (Game Over) “The Voices of Sweet Jamaica” video shows what is possible when the seed is planted for community building. Seeing in living color U-Roy up to Chris Martin all inside the studio at the famed Anchor Studios in Kingston is just more visual proof of how the music and the community go hand in hand. |

According to Ce’Cile, the combination of music and community is what Jamaica is all about. “I’m totally excited to be a part of what was already a great project, and I’m especially excited since the proceeds of the sale of the song goes to charity. “The Voices of Sweet Jamaica” really represents the vibe and energy of a united Jamaica and the various artists that Vegas has chosen to be on the song is a reflection of just how diverse and versatile we are.” And Barrington Levy expressed his gratitude to both Mustard Seed and his fellow artists. “Not only am I glad to be able to play my part but since all proceeds from the sale of the song are going to charity that makes it even better.” This time, the performers of “The Voices of Sweet Jamaica” are asking the reggae and world music-loving public to lend a hand as well. All proceeds from the sale of the song “The Voices of Sweet Jamaica” will help Mustard Seed fulfill its mission to keep Jamaica sweet today, and even sweeter for future generations of Jamaicans. |

WTF AFRICA- NAKED DEFENDANT
– Drama unfolded at a court in Thika after a man who had been charged with being in possession of 152 rolls of Bhang worth Sh. 1,800 walked into the court naked and claimed that he had rights to either dress or remain naked.
According to prosecutor Kenneth Kiruai, Joseph Kamande had been arrested by police at Fort Jesus in Ruiru Kiambu County after police were tipped off by residents on Kamande’s narcotics business.
When asked why he was naked he said that he had constitutional rights of dressing and he could choose whether to dress or remain naked. He told the court that the police tore off his clothes and the ones they gave him were oversize thus he could not wear them. Ndeda allowed Kamande to take his plea regardless of the state of his dressing.
He pled not guilty to the charges. When he was requested by the police to dress after the court session he refused and said he wanted to remain naked.
Kamande will be remanded until October 25 when his case will be heard again.
