KINGSTON, Jamaica — Opposition Spokesman on Rural and Community Development, Dr Kenneth Russell has accused the Government of abandoning rural Jamaica.
The member of parliament for St Ann South Eastern made the charge on Wednesday during his contribution to the Sectoral Debate in the House of Representatives.
“Today I will prosecute a simple charge. My charge is not that this Government has done nothing. Some roads have been repaired. Water projects have been undertaken. Some programmes have been implemented. My charge is more serious: rural and community development have been abandoned as a national priority by this government,” said Russell.
