Members of the Opposition are adamant that more can be done to better the lives of Jamaicans. Speaking at a Divisional Conference in Portland, the members lashed out against the Andrew Holness-led administration, as they called for change, regarding crime and environmental concerns. 

Opposition Spokesperson on Transport and Works, Mikael Phillips, says the looming tragedies from this hurricane season, require more financial support and proper planning from the government.
