Every time I need to sign some document that needs me to justify or prove my honesty, I HAVE TO DO SOMETHING DISHONEST! And I am tired of it!

What is the point of this stupidity about justice of the peace? I do not know any. Oh yeah, I know the ones I invariably have to pay off to sign the passport picture, bank application etc. BUT he/she does not know me hence why I have to pay for them to tell a lie since as I cannot get sh*t done if I don’t.

Government-sanctioned extortion

Is this a setup, is it a post given to old political cronies, what is the point. I am broke, yet I can afford to pay $500 to have my loan documents signed. I am damn sure that the miscreants of society who are out to do illegal shit from the get go are in no way hampered by this “security measure”.

AT the going rate of $500 to sign and stamp a document: 10 people per day, 5 days per week, this works out to be a whopping $100,000 per month, tax free. Why the F**K! is this Government-sanctioned extortion allowed to take place.

Oh yeah, they are not supposed to charge…BUT THEY DO!! And everybody including the school children in China knows they CHARGE. Not all, not most (well maybe) but enough charge for this ’free’ service for this practice to be as worthless as a third nipple.

These people have no INTEGRITY. They are nothing more than dishonest f*ckers with the government-sanctioned privilege to stick their hands in the cookie jar.

CRAZY SUGGESTION

Rather than tax prostitutes, it might be a much better idea to make certifying documents a paid service. Affix a set fee to each ‘Stamp and Sign’ and apply tax like anything else. Because while the concept is sound, Jamaica and Jamaicans are way too corrupt to be expected to honour the spirit of the system. It sounds bad, but unfortunately that is the way we are and the way it is.

Can you imagine a medical doctor, who will take $500 Jamaican dollars ($7.15 USD) to pretend to know you? Just stop for two seconds, and imagine what this same ‘Doc’ would do for $100, or a $1,000 USD or more.
