Opposition Leader urges Gov’t to consider shifting focus from its pace of debt reduction and focus on well-being of Jamaicans

Leader of the Opposition and People’s National Party President Mark Golding says the Government should consider shifting its focus from its pace of debt reduction and focus on the well-being of Jamaicans.

Speaking at the People’s National Party’s Knockpatrick Divisional Conference at the May Day High School in Manchester on Sunday (May 29), Mr Golding said the Government needs to increase its spending for Jamaicans to benefit.

He said the agriculture sector is being severely affected by increasing prices, at a time when the country is facing food supply challenges.
