Jamaican MP Questions Road Network Program's Resource Allocation

Crawford, the Member of Parliament for St Catherine North Western, criticized the government for the lack of road repair in his constituency. He questioned why two major roads, Ewarton to Lluidas Vale and Ewarton to Mount Rosser, were not included in the Shared Prosperity through Accelerated Improvement to Our Road Network (SPARK) Programme. Crawford also claimed that previous road programs had not considered North West St Catherine until after lobbying efforts.

The debate highlights political pressure regarding how government resources are allocated for infrastructure projects in Jamaica. This scrutiny could challenge the National Works Agency's resource allocation and project selection process for SPARK roads.
