People’s National Party (PNP) General Secretary and Westmoreland Eastern Member of Parliament Dr Dayton Campbell has accused the Government of withholding hurricane relief for the parish on political grounds, citing the outcome of last year’s general election.
The PNP reclaimed all three constituencies in Westmoreland, with Campbell, Dwayne Vaz and Ian Hayles defeating their Jamaica Labour Party (JLP) opponents.
Addressing the PNP’s 88th annual conference public session at Independence Park in Savanna-la-Mar on Sunday, Campbell argued that the recovery effort has been slow and asserted that this is evidence of a political motive.
