It’s a delicate balance act that the government has to carry out. If you don’t honor your contact , you will face huge lawsuits and the works. On the other hand , I understand the feeling of the man on the ground - how can they go abd enjoy my nice recreation spots when I’m not allowed to leave my house ? The vendors also have a legitimate gripe , why can’t we eat a food when the big man can ?
So many factors to consider that I wouldn’t want to be the one to make these decisions at this time.
No movement days are hard on the regular man because many Jamaicans earn a living via daily wages. No work means no money. Moreover, the govt has not provided any kind of support in cash or kind recently to help the common man to cross this current hurdle.
As such , if there is potential for the craft vendors to safely eat a food and for other small business owners to benefit while the government honor their contractual agreements, the powers that be should do all they can to mage if happen.
It’s a difficult situation and the government will not do anything that everybody will be happy with but what they do should not only benefit the rich and powerful.
