Minister with responsibility for water, Senator Matthew Samuda, says the Jamaica Labour Party administration has been making the kind of investment in the country’s water infrastructure that didn’t materialise under previous People’s National Party administrations.
Senator Samuda was speaking at the launch of the Braco Pipeline Installation Project in Trelawny on Thursday.
Mahiri Stewart has that story.
Senator Samuda has blamed wilful ignorance for some claims about the Holness administration’s investment in water infrastructure.
Senator Samuda says before the Holness administration, investment in the National Water Commission was a rarity.
Senator Samuda hit out at members of the opposition that use the NWC to score political points.
The water minister listed multiple investments by the government in water improvement projects as proof that the Holness administration surpassed the work done by the PNP.
