AFTER VICTORY, JAMAICAN PROMISES EFFICIENCY
Prime Minister P.J. Patterson sounded like a business manager Wednesday, the day after his sweeping election victory, with promises of more government efficiency and a push for higher productivity.
Business leaders and analysts said his resounding win indicated an end to leadership by the Manley family dynasty and the rise of a technocracy in the Caribbean's largest nation.
"The emphasis has to be on productivity," he said, adding that he wanted to build a "broad consensus" among government, business and labor to focus on boosting economic production.
Patterson also said he would push programs to educate and train workers, especially for technical and service-related jobs.
With the vote count from Tuesday's balloting nearly complete, Patterson's People's National Party won at least 52 seats in the 60-member Parliament.
