REPORTS FROM COMMITTEES Mr. Clifford Warmington laid on the Table of the House a copy of the Report of the Committee to examine and recommend for approval proposed estimates for constituency projects by respective members of Parliament: Members of this Honourable House are reminded that on May 21, 2008, the House of Representatives, on a motion moved by the Acting Leader of the House and Minister of State in the Minister of Labour and Social Security passed the following resolution: BE IT RESOLVED that this Honourable House appoint a Joint Select Committee comprising of the following Members: Hon. Audley Shaw - Chairman Hon. Horace Chang Hon. Olivia Grange Hon. Shahine Robinson Hon. Laurence Broderick Mr. Michael Peart Mrs. Maxine Henry-Wilson Mr. Derrick Kellier Mr. Fitz Jackson to examine and recommend for approval, proposed estimates for constituency projects submitted to the Constituency Development Fund (CDF) by respective Members of Parliament. On the 3rd day of June, 2008, on a motion moved by the Acting Leader of the House, the House passed a further resolution deleting the names “Michael Peart and Fitz Jackson” and substituting therefor the names “Dean Peart and Noel Arscott”. On the 14th day of October, 2008, on a motion moved by the Acting Leader of the House, the House passed a further resolution deleting the names “Audley Shaw, Laurence Broderick, Olivia Grange, Horace Chang, Dean Peart and Maxine Henry-Wilson” and substituting therefor the names “Clifford Everald Warmington (Chairman), William J. C. Hutchinson, Andrew Gallimore, St. Aubyn Bartlett, Natalie Neita-Headley and Colin Fagan” Members are further reminded that, by virtue of resolutions approved by this Honourable House on March 31, 2009, March 27, 2010 and on April 5, 2011, the composition of the Committee, as set out above, was made to continue in force for the 2010/2011 session of Parliament and the Committee empowered to proceed with matters that were before it from the stage reached at prorogation. 5 (i) Overview of the Constituency Development Fund The concept of the Constituency Fund (CDF) was developed in the context of the need for improved governance and greater effectiveness of the people’s representatives in responding to the development needs of the constituents. The main thrust of the CDF is to: Promote Human and Infrastructure Development at the community and constituency levels Catalyze economic activities at the constituency level Foster local governance including good environmental stewardship Improve service delivery Bring governance and the people closer together Increase the response capacity of the elected representatives Promote participation at the community level The CDF programme is in its third year of implementation. Each Member of Parliament in collaboration with the relevant agencies, local/community based organizations and Non- governmental Organizations would have designed a Five Year Development Plan at the inception of the programme. The Five Year Development Plan for each constituency would have outlined a menu of programmes and projects to be undertaken on a yearly basis. (ii) The CDF Committee’s Deliberations and Decisions Your Committee began its meetings for the 2010/2011 Parliamentary Session on June 29, 2010 and held a total of twenty (20) meetings to review and approve the project proposals that were submitted to the Committee, for implementation in the 60 constituencies. (Appendix I) Each Member of Parliament was allocated $20.0 million to execute the projects in his or her constituency for the 2010/2011 Parliamentary Year. Each project proposal was reviewed by the officers at the Constituency Development Fund Project Management Unit (CDF PMU) before being sent to your Committee for further review and approval. Your Committee meticulously reviewed the project documents and where necessary, sought clarity from the technical officers from the CDF Project Management Unit. In some instances, projects were not approved when they were presented to the Committee because they did not meet the criteria set out in the CDF guidelines and had to be returned to the CDF PMU for modifications. Your Committee in its deliberations recommends that all CDF funds should be deposited in a special CDF account by the implementing agencies instead of having the funds co-mingled with other funds held by the particular agency. This, the Committee felt would augur well for accounting of CDF funds within the agencies. Your Committee also recommends that at the onset of the Financial Years’ activities, all Members should be notified in writing of the timeline to submit their projects and closer to the end of the year’s activities it could be highlighted at the Committee’s level and in writing to ensure that Members of Parliament are aware of the timeline.

  • Caribbean: the Jamaican Maroons and Creek Nation Compared
    Negotiating Freedom in the Circum- Caribbean: The Jamaican Maroons and Creek Nation Compared Helen Mary McKee A thesis submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctorate of Philosophy School of History, Classics and Archaeology May 2015 Abstract Built on an investigation of a large number of archival sources in three different countries, this study analyses free, non-white communities in the circum-Caribbean. Using the comparative method, I assess how the Maroons and Creeks negotiated a role for themselves in an inter-war context, exploring their interactions with four main groups. First, I consider the Maroon and Creek relationship with the enslaved population of Jamaica and the United States, respectively. This allows me to demonstrate that the signing of the peace treaties with white society had little impact on interactions with slaves. Maroon and Creek attitudes towards slaves continued in much the same manner as before peace, it was the contexts in which these interactions that took place which changed. Second, I scrutinise how the two communities navigated the potentially inflammatory situation of peace with their former white enemies. I argue that the Maroons enjoyed a more amicable relationship than the Creeks did with the local white settlers. This was largely a result of the fact that the Maroons and local whites shared a mutual usefulness whereas the Creeks and local whites did not. Third, I compare the Maroon alliance with the colonial government of Jamaica with that of the Creek and federal government. I show that, initially, both governments appreciated the usefulness of such an allegiance but, as time passed and the Maroons and Creeks showed no indication of submissiveness, both soon moved to restrict, and ultimately reduce, the independence of the societies.
