Prime Minister Andrew Holness says his administration is facing a real “conundrum” of turning frowns into smiles even as it presides over a strong economic policy that has pulled Jamaica back from the “brink of bankruptcy”. Noting a record-low.
The 63 Members of Parliament (MPs) will each be allocated a minimum of $150 million under the Government’s ambitious $40 billion SPARK programme to rehabilitate the country’s creaking road network. Remaining amounts will be allocated to each constituency depending on the volume of the road network to be repaired to ensure fairness, while an amount will be reserved by the Government to address roads that may not have been considered.
