KINGSTON, Jamaica — Member of Parliament for St Andrew South West, Dr Angela Brown Burke, is calling for a 50 per cent increase in the Constituency Development Fund (CDF), saying additional funding is needed to better respond to the needs of residents in the constituency.
She was speaking on Friday at her Back-to-School Treat and Health Fair, held at her constituency office on Spanish Town Road on Friday.
She said the CDF is used to support a range of programmes that provide assistance to students, parents and other residents, but the current allocation is not enough to meet the level of need.
