JLP set up $15 million fund to assist party workers affected by Melissa – Holness
Workers of the Jamaica Labour Party (JLP) who were affected by Hurricane Melissa and who are still in recovery mode are to benefit from a $15 million fund set up by the party.
Prime Minister Dr Andrew Holness made the announcement Sunday at the 83rd annual JLP conference in Montego Bay, St James. He said he has instructed the party’s treasury to make the funds available “and to look for our workers who’re still trying to recover”.
The JLP leader said the funds will be broken down by constituency and recommendations can be made to the party’s secretariat as to who should benefit. The funds will be available by the second week in January.
