ST ANDREW, Jamaica — St Andrew East Central Member of Parliament Dennis Gordon says the challenges facing his constituency far exceed what can be addressed through current parliamentary budget allocations.
“The projection from NWA [National Works Agency] is that it takes $50 million to fix one kilometre of road. For me to fix, let’s say Chisholm Avenue, which is in a poor state, with the allocation, it’s going to take me 15 years to fix Chisholm,” he said, referring to the existing $3 million allocation for municipal road repairs.
Gordon was speaking at the Duhaney Park Divisional Conference on Saturday which was held at Edith Dalton James High School.
