Episode Details

In Cooper’s Pen, Trelawny, homes are being demolished amid growing outcry from the ACCM, who demand urgent reforms to eviction procedures. They trace the root of today’s landlessness crisis back to the Transatlantic Slave Trade and emancipation in 1838, calling it a “massively unjust” legacy that continues to destabilize communities. The ACCM argues that while courts will keep issuing evictions, the government must overhaul how they’re enforced — balancing property rights with social stability and public health. They propose using National Housing Trust funds to buy properties, offer lease-to-own options, and establish local land committees free from political interference. Their message is clear: Jamaica must act decisively to solve this systemic issue for the sake of justice, governance, and national unity.
