Opposition Demands Gov’t Do More to Prepare for Hurricane Season

The Opposition is demanding that the government takes stronger measures to prepare for the ongoing hurricane season, particularly in rural constituencies. The Member of Parliament for North West Manchester, Mikael Phillips, argues that the government’s claims of preparedness are misleading, pointing to recent instances of widespread flooding.

Despite the government’s assertion that sufficient funding has been allocated to clean drains and address potential flooding during the hurricane season, Mikael Phillips, the Opposition spokesman for Transport and Works, vehemently argues that the one million dollars provided to each constituency annually is grossly inadequate. He questions why Jamaicans are already suffering from flooding just two weeks into the hurricane season if the necessary preparations were indeed carried out. Watch the report:
