May 21st, 2025 | Category: EDITORS' FORUM | 8:23#JamaicaGleaner MAY 21, 2025: Legislators from both major political parties in Jamaica agree that reforms to the country's campaign financing laws are necessary though they differ on the specifics of what those changes should entail. Dr Horace Chang, general secretary of the ruling Jamaica Labour Party (JLP), is calling for full public funding of election campaigns. Meanwhile, Peter Bunting, co-chair of the People's National Party (PNP) national campaign committee, argues that the public disclosure of election donors will only occur if it is mandated by law.
