Fitz-Henley rejects ‘untruthful’ allegation made by Beenie Man about Government’s Hurricane expenditure

KINGSTON, Jamaica — State Minister in the Office of the Prime Minister, Senator Abka Fitz-Henley, is rejecting as untruthful and misleading a claim made by entertainer Beenie Man that monies spent by the Government of Jamaica on Hurricane Melissa relief and recovery have not been spent on people in need.

A video clip surfaced on Tuesday showing Beenie Man appearing on British television news programme ITV News and commenting: “this is nothing new that the Government get the money; the Government distribute the money the wrong way. The people who supposed to get the money haven’t been getting any. These things, it’s a regular thing that these things happens”.

Fitz-Henley responded during an interview with ITV News today and said  Beenie Man’s comments were irresponsible and untruthful.
