A public dispute has intensified between Local Government Minister Desmond McKenzie and Westmoreland Central Member of Parliament Dwayne Vaz over housing promised to families displaced by Hurricane Melissa. Westmoreland was among the hard-hit parishes.
McKenzie, in a press release issued Friday, strongly rejected claims attributed to Vaz that delays in relocating families amounted to “incompetence” by the ministry.
He described the comments as “political opportunism” and said the Government remained committed to completing the relocation and housing programme for affected families.
