KINGSTON, Jamaica — Minister with responsibility for Works, Robert Nesta Morgan, has rejected what he described as misleading and politically convenient claims made by representatives of the Opposition regarding the Government’s SPARK Programme.

Morgan in a Monday afternoon statement said the Opposition is attempting to convert legitimate community concerns about road conditions into a false narrative that the SPARK Programme has failed.

“The Government will not capitulate to a misleading political narrative. SPARK is changing lives and communities. It is a serious national road rehabilitation programme dealing with serious infrastructure problems across Jamaica,” Morgan said.
