Jamaica Time and Date Jamaica Government Back to Top The 1962 constitution accomplished a parliamentary system based on the U.K. model. As chief of state, Queen Elizabeth II appoints a governor general, on the advice of the prime minister, as her representative in Jamaica. The governor general's role is largely ceremonial. administrator power is unconditional in the cabinet, led by the prime minister. Parliament is composed of an appointed Senate and an elected House of Representatives. Thirteen Senators are nominated on the advice of the prime minister and eight on the advice of the leader of the opposition. General elections must be held within 5 years of the forming of a new government. The prime minister may ask the governor general to call elections sooner, however. The Senate may submit bills, and it also reviews legislation submitted by the House. It may not delay budget bills for more than 1 month or other bills for more than 7 months. The prime minister and the cabinet are selected from the Parliament. No fewer than two nor more than four members of the cabinet must be selected from the Senate. The judiciary also is modeled on the U.K. system. The Court of Appeals is the highest appellate court in Jamaica. Under certain circumstances, cases may be appealed to the Privy Council of the United Kingdom. Jamaica's parishes have elected councils that exercise limited powers of local government.

Jamaica Government: Legislative Branch Parliament The Jamaican Parliament consists of two Houses- the Senate, also called the Upper House, and the House of Representatives, also known as the Lower House- and the Queen. The Governor - General represents the Queen in Parliament, and his role is a formal one. Once a year, at the official opening of Parliament, he delivers the "throne Speech." Beyond this, his parliamentary function is limited to his formal assent to bills passed by the two Houses of Parliament. The maximum life of a Parliament is five years, at the end of which Parliament must be dissolved and a general election held. However, the Prime Minister may advise the Governor-General to dissolve Parliament at any time within the five years and name a date for a general election. Also, Parliament must be dissolved and a general election held if a majority of all the members of the House of Representatives supports a no-confidence motion against the Government. Senate The Senate is a nominated House made up of 21 senators. Thirteen senators are appointed by the Governor-General on the advice of the Prime Minister. The other eight are appointed on the advice of the Leader of the Opposition. Not more than four ministers can be appointed from the Senate, and they may have portfolio responsibilities. The Senate usually functions as a review chamber, considering bills passed by the House of Representatives. But the Senate may also initiate legislation, except money bills. It cannot delay money bills for more than one month nor any other Bill for more than seven months.

As part of co-ordinated UK Government support to reducing crime and violence we will also continue to engage on issues of inner city poverty and wider justice and security sector reform to help Government tackle the serious violence and social exclusion problems.

Jamaica Government Approves Of Billion-Dollar Plan For Tourism Development Department of Public Information Organization of American States Caribbeean News Wednesday, September 17, 2003 KINGSTON, Jamaica, CMC — The Jamaica government has approved a billion dollar plan for the development of the tourism sector over the next seven years. The key targets of the plan, which is geared towards improving economic growth and increasing foreign exchange earnings, will entail an increase in stop-over arrivals from 1.3 million to 2.2 million persons; cruise ship passengers from 908,000 to 2,000,200; visitor expenditure from US$1,333 to US$2,934, Tourism Minister Aloun Ndombet-Assamba said. It will also seek to increase employment from 75,000 to 130, 000 and increase Gross Domestic Product (GDP) contribution from eight per cent to 15 per cent. Focus will be placed on diversifying the tourism product by moving away from the traditional sun, sand and sea offerings, to expanding attractions in heritage tourism, music and entertainment, retirement, health and sports, Ms.Assamba said. Ms. Assamba said that a budget of US$1.6 billion has been set to implement programmes, with the private sector expected to contribute US$1.4 billion through the development of hotels and attractions. The first phase of the plan is expected to get under way in time for the start of the winter season on December 15 and will entail the beautification and clean up of resort towns. “Clean-up and beautification projects will achieve quick wins at this point. They will enhance the experience of visitors and locals, consolidate the upturn shown in the market so far, and signal the government’s commitment to the Master Plan,” she added.
