Tanya Stephens

Tanya Stephens is not here for Lisa Hanna’s PNP President candidacy.

The veteran Dancehall artiste rubbished the Miss World 1993 winner’s presidential bid during an Instagram post of a town hall meeting for Lisa Hanna’s opponent, Mark Golding.

“We need efficient people in governance. I’m not a delegate in any political party so I can’t vote, but the delegates should bear in mind that this is not merely party politics,” Stephens wrote. “This is Jamaica’s business. A woman who makes excuses for why her SINGLE constituency is so torn that she couldn’t resolve ANY issue within her own party there can’t govern an entire country.”

“Everybody who is supporting her baseless ambition should be exiled. Party leader will be responsible for EVERY CONSTITUENCY! Get it right, oonu credibility at stake, as well as the positions oonu seek. Peace. Me a go deh deh,” she continued.

The “It’s A Pity” singer also openly criticised Lisa Hanna on Facebook when responding to a friend. “The only paper she look good on is a printed photograph. She’s not appealing to HR for ANY job that isn’t purely based on aesthetics. She’s almost 50 and never truly held a job,” Stephens said.

“She’s flitted by a couple of insignificant positions which didn’t have her responsible for people’s lives and livelihood. She was GIVEN a PNP ‘safe seat’ amid audible objections and after only 3 elections she whittled the lead down to 31. She is so egotistical that she would rather sacrifice the party than stand down from her pursuit of power and acclaim, and with a 31 vote win which threatens to be a loss next election she is challenging for LEAERSHIP???? (sic) Oonu a mad people?”

“The woman couldn’t resolve whatever conflict exists in her own party in ONE CONTITUENCY! What gives you the confidence to think she can resolve the conflicts of an entire nation? Then you call me hater because I adamantly reject her application for the job of running MY COUNTRY…you think a dolly house this boy? List the JOBS she’s done from she born. The actual jobs. Accomplishments beyond aesthetic arrangement of her genes.”


“You don’t reward a constituency failure with national responsibility unless you WANT the entire country to fail. Oonu irresponsible,” she continued.
