KINGSTON, Jamaica — Opposition Spokesman on Energy Phillip Paulwell has called on the Government to impose a ceiling on oil prices, arguing that Jamaicans need protection from steadily increasing fuel costs linked to global tensions.

Paulwell made the remarks on Sunday while addressing the Springfield Annual Divisional Conference at Vauxhall High School.

The conference was hosted by councillor and Deputy Mayor at KSAMC, Lorraine Dobson, and featured presentations from guest speaker Dr Alfred Dawes and Andrew Swaby.
