KINGSTON, Jamaica — Minister of State in the Ministry of Industry, Investment and Commerce, Delano Seiveright, says the Government’s cement supply strategy is helping to keep Jamaica’s construction sector on track despite recent challenges affecting supply and growing demand across the economy.

Making his contribution in the House of Representatives during debate on a private member’s motion brought by Opposition Spokesman on Industry and Investment, Anthony Hylton, Seiveright outlined a series of measures implemented by the Government to maintain market stability and support ongoing housing, infrastructure and reconstruction projects.

The minister stressed that the issue carries significant implications for the wider economy, noting that the construction sector remains one of Jamaica’s largest employers.
