‘Go make a song of it!’

WHILE acknowledging that thousands of Jamaicans remain without assistance in the aftermath of Hurricane Melissa, Prime Minister Dr Andrew Holness has again firmly rejected claims that his Administration has failed to respond to the devastation, insisting that such assertions are false and must be challenged.

“I will continue to say it over and over again, and I don’t care who vex. Go make a song of it,” Holness declared in what appeared to be a pointed jab at dancehall entertainer Beenie Man amid their public disagreement over the Government’s handling of hurricane relief.

Speaking during the National Housing Trust’s (NHT) Construction Scholarship awards ceremony which was held at Jamaica House in St Andrew on Wednesday, the prime minister acknowledged that questions surrounding the pace of recovery and the adequacy of assistance were legitimate, but insisted that these concerns should not be conflated with allegations of Government inaction.
