Tony Matterhorn calls out price gouging amid hurricane recovery

“UNUH Run SOME FOOD OR RUN WEH.” That is the bold message from renowned selector Tony Matterhorn.

He is calling on the government to warn food distributors against price gouging, where prices are significantly increased due to shortages caused by holding back products, in this case, food, to create scarcity and higher demand.

Online users agree that the points raised by Tony Matterhorn are crucial, especially amid the current crisis. Some are urging the government to pay close attention and implement measures to protect Jamaicans from exploitation.

Others argue that while Matterhorn makes a strong case, it’s also important to consider that even if factories or warehouses report no damage, production can still be disrupted if employees are affected — leading to delays, reduced output, and shortages.
