Ukunciphisa Imiphumela Emibi ye-COVID-19 Kwezokuvakasha Manje

1. IJamaica phambilini yazise ngamasu nemizamo kahulumeni yokunciphisa umthelela omubi wobhadane emkhakheni wezokuvakasha.
2. UHulumeni waseJamaican uphinde wabeka phambili usizo emabhizinisini amancane, amancane naphakathi.
3. Ukungenelela kukaNgqongqoshe kulo mcimbi kugxile ekubalulekeni kwemigomo yokuvuselela umnotho womhlaba kanye nezokuvakasha.

Kulethwe lapha ngamazwi kaNgqongqoshe uBartlett:

Ngiyabonga Madam Sihlalo.

Ithimba laseJamaica, emihlanganweni edlule ye-OAS ne-CITUR, lazise ngamasu kanye nemizamo kahulumeni yokunciphisa umthelela omubi wobhubhane umkhakha wezokuvakasha. Lokhu kudlule ezinyathelweni ezintsha zesikhashana nezesikhathi eside ezifana nomhubhe wokuqina wezokuvakasha wokugcina imisebenzi yezokuvakasha kulo mkhakha kanye nephakethe lokuvuselela i-J $ 25 billion emnothweni obanzi, ngokunikezwa kweSibonelelo Sezokuvakasha esizosiza amabhizinisi asebenza kulo mkhakha ethintwe yi-COVID-19. UHulumeni waseJamaican uphinde wabeka phambili usizo emabhizinisini amancane, amancane naphakathi, eqaphela ukuthi la mabhizinisi akha umgogodla womnotho waseJamaican.

Ukungenelela kwami ​​kulo mcimbi kuzogxila kwenye into ebaluleke kakhulu ekuvuseleleni umnotho womhlaba kanye nezokuvakasha—imijovo yokugoma. Sigcizelela ikhwelo, ngoJuni walo nyaka, elezinhloko ze-International Monetary Fund (IMF), i-World Bank (WB), i-World Health Organisation (i-WHO) ne-World Trade Organisation (i-WTO) lokutshala imali eyi-US $ 50 billion emuthini olinganayo ukusatshalaliswa okungakhiqiza u- $ 9 trillion e-US ekubuyiseni umnotho womhlaba ngonyaka ka-2025. Ithimba lami likholelwa ngenhliziyo yonke ukuthi “ngeke kube khona ukululama okubanzi ngaphandle kokuphela kwenkinga yezempilo. Ukutholakala kokugoma kuyisihluthulelo sabo bobabili. ”

Ngokudabukisayo, kulesi sigaba esiwubhadane, ukungalingani kwemithi yokugoma kuqhubeka lapho noma kusatshalaliswa imithamo engaphezu kwezigidigidi eziyisithupha yemithi yokugoma, iningi lalawo lisemazweni ahola kakhulu kanti amazwe ampofu kakhulu anabantu abangaphansi kwephesenti elilodwa labantu bawo abagonyiwe. Siyavuma ukuthi ukugoma okulinganayo emhlabeni jikelele akuyona nje into ebaluleke kakhulu ekuziphatheni kepha futhi kuveza umqondo wezomnotho wesikhathi eside. Ngokunikwa isici sesifo esiwumashayabhuqe, kanye ne-COVID-6, ikakhulukazi, ngeke kube khona ukuvakasha okuqhubekayo noma okusimeme komhlaba wonke lapho amazwe anemali ephansi esala ngemuva. Lesi yisisekelo se-Ajenda yowezi-1 Yentuthuko Eqhubekayo - hleze sikhohlwe. Maqondana nalokhu, siyazamukela futhi siyabonga ngezipho zemithi yokugoma evela kozakwethu abathuthukile futhi singagcizelela ukuthi lezi kufanele zibe yizipho ezifika ngesikhathi nezisebenza kahle, ngokubheka izinsuku zokuphela kwemigomo.

Ngokusho kwe-UN World Tourism Organisation's (UNWTO) ekuqaleni kwaleli sonto, ukukhishwa okuthuthukisiwe kokugoma emhlabeni wonke kube yisici esibalulekile sezimpawu zokuphinda zithokozelwe ezokuvakasha zamazwe ngamazwe ngoJuni nangoJulayi 2021. Uhlelo lwakamuva lwe UNWTO I-World Tourism Barometer ikhombisa ukuthi izivakashi ezilinganiselwa ezigidini ezingama-54 zeqa imingcele yamazwe ngamazwe ngoJulayi 2021, zehla ngama-67% ukusuka kuJulayi 2019, kodwa kuseyimiphumela enamandla kakhulu kusukela ngo-Ephreli 2020.

Ithimba lami lijabule ngokwazi ukuthi isifunda sethu saseMelika sabona ukwehla okuncane uma kuqhathaniswa nokufika kwabavakashi bamazwe omhlaba okungama-68% kunezinye izifunda, kanti iCaribbean ikhombisa ukusebenza kahle kakhulu ezifundeni ezingaphansi komhlaba. Lezi yizindaba ezikhuthazayo ukukhanyisa indlela yethu eya ekululameni okuqhubekayo. Njengoba uMqondisi-Jikelele u-Ikonyo-Iweala we-World Trade Organisation asho, "ukuvuselelwa kwezomnotho okusimeme nokuhweba kungatholakala kuphela ngenqubomgomo eqinisekisa ukutholakala okusheshayo kwemithi yokugoma emhlabeni jikelele."

I-WHO igcizelele izigaba ezibucayi zokuthola umgomo wokugoma we-40% emhlabeni ngoDisemba 2021 no-70% ngoJuni 2022 ukuqeda ubhadane. Sinamathuluzi adingekayo, futhi amehlo ethu kumele abe semklomelweni wokusinda nempumelelo yalesi sizukulwane esizayo.

Njengoba sibhekene nokusatshalaliswa okungalingani emithini yokugoma phakathi kwamazwe acebile athuthukile kanye namazwe ahola kancane e-Global South, sibhekene nenselelo eyengeziwe yokungabaza kwemithi phakathi kwezinye zezakhamizi zethu. Abantu bavame ukwesaba amanzi angafakwanga, ikakhulukazi maqondana nempilo yabo, futhi imininingwane engeyona ibhebhethekisa lokhu kwesaba.

EJamaica, enabantu ababalelwa ezigidini ezintathu, silethe imithamo engama-3, nge-787,602% kuphela yabantu ebhalwe njengegonywe ngokuphelele. UHulumeni usebenzise imiyalezo enobuhlakani ukwazisa izakhamizi nokukhuthaza ukugoma. Ubambiswano lukahulumeni nezinkampani ezizimele luqiniswe ngezivumelwano ezifakwe izinkampani ukusiza ngemishanguzo yokugoma ezindaweni ezishushumbiswa njalo njengezitolo ezinkulu nezindawo zokuthenga ukwenza lula ukutholakala kwemigomo. Siyabazi labo abasengozini enkulu phakathi kwethu futhi kulokhu, izinsizakalo zokugoma ezingomahambanendlwana seziqalile ukusetshenziswa ukuze zifinyeleleke ezindaweni zasemakhaya nasemindenini ehlwempu, asebekhulile kanye nabantu abakhubazekile abangase bangakwazi ukuhamba kalula ukuyogonywa.

Ngokukhethekile embonini yezokuvakasha, iTourism Vaccination Taskforce yasungulwa njengenye indlela yokubonisa ukubambisana phakathi komkhakha womphakathi (uMnyango Wezokuvakasha) kanye nezinkampani ezizimele (i-Private Sector Vaccine Initiative neJamaica Hotel kanye neTourist Association) ukwenza lula i-COVID-19 yokuzithandela ukugonywa kwabo bonke abasebenzi bezokuvakasha abayi-170,000. Lokhu kungumgomo ovelele; kodwa-ke, asinankinga njengoba ezinsukwini ezintathu zokuqala zohlelo, abasebenzi abangaphezu kuka-2000 bagonyiwe.

Sihlalo,

Ithimba lami likhumbula iqhaza elibanjwe “yipolitiki yobhubhane” elingathiya imizamo yethu yokululama. Mayelana nalokhu, ukusebenzisana nokubambisana kwamazwe omhlaba kungukhiye ekuqinisekiseni ukuqashelwa komhlaba jikelele kwemithi yokugoma ephephile nephumelelayo ukuze ingabandlululi ngokungafanele i-inoculation kanye nokuhamba. Ngifisa ukuphinda iphuzu ngokubandlululwa. Ubhadane luye lwagqamisa futhi lwandisa ukungalingani okukhona ngaphakathi naphakathi kwamazwe. Izinqubomgomo nezinhlelo zethu kufanele ziqondiswe ekuvikeleni izimpilo nezimpilo zempilo esezingeni elifanele kanye nentuthuko esimeme.

Ezokuvakasha njengezentengiselwano yezinsizakalo zibaluleke kakhulu emazweni aseCaribbean naseMelika ngomnikelo wazo kwezokuqashwa, i-GDP kanye nokwenziwa kwemali yangaphandle. Njengomkhakha odinga abasebenzi abaningi nabadinga abantu abaningi, inzuzo yethu nokulahlekelwa kwethu kubonakala kalula kakhulu ekumoyizeleni nasekububuleni kwabasebenzi bethu nakubakhenkethi bethu. Uma sibeka abantu phambili, singathola indlela kodwa ngokubambisana nokubambisana kuwo wonke amazinga.

UHulumeni waseJamaica uyakugcizelela ukuzibophezela kwakhe ezinkambisweni zamazwe amaningi e-Organisation of American States (OAS) nakwezinye izinhlangano zomhlaba. Asisoze sayithola inqubomgomo yokugoma ngaphandle kokubambisana. Ngeke size silulame ngempumelelo ngaphandle kokubambisana. Nginxusa wonke amazwe amelwe namuhla ukuba acubungule amaqiniso nokuthi singasebenzisana kanjani kangcono ukuze sikwazi ukuqina nokuqina.

Ngiyabonga Madam Sihlalo.
