ANGELA BROWN BURKE BLASTS SPARK PROGRAM DELAYS IN PARLIAMENT.

Описание: Member of Parliament Angela Brown Burke raised serious concerns in Parliament about delays and communication problems surrounding the government’s SPARK road rehabilitation program and long-awaited housing projects.
Speaking on behalf of residents in South West St. Andrew, Angela Brown Burke criticized the lack of detailed information being provided to Members of Parliament regarding road works being carried out in their constituencies. She argued that MPs should not have to request basic information about projects affecting their communities.
During the parliamentary exchange, Brown Burke pointed to issues on Oakland Crescent, where construction work began but residents were unsure whether the actual road would be repaired. She warned that without proper drainage planning, flooding could quickly destroy newly constructed roads.
The MP also raised concerns about the delayed Big Yard Tenement Replacement Project, which was approved years ago to provide housing for vulnerable residents. According to Brown Burke, some individuals who were supposed to benefit from the project have already passed away while waiting for the houses to be built.
In addition, she highlighted severe flooding problems affecting residents in Majestic Gardens after infrastructure changes were made by the National Works Agency.
The minister responded by apologizing for the delays and promised to review the issues and provide updates.
This parliamentary discussion highlights growing concerns about transparency, infrastructure management, and housing delivery in Jamaica.
