Prime Minister, Portia Simpson Miller, is defending the recent bus fare increase granted to the Jamaica Urban Transit Company, JUTC.
Mrs. Simpson Miller reacted to criticisms of the move while speaking on Wednesday at the official opening of the Walder-Run Early Childhood Institution and Multi-Purpose Sports Complex in Silent Hill, Clarendon.
She says those who supported Monday’s Opposition led protest in Half Way Tree, St. Andrew, would be wise to consider the cost of transpiration for persons living in rural Jamaica.
And Mrs. Simpson Miller says those who assert that she’s not accomplished much in her four decades in politics, are perpetuating a lie.
Mrs. Simpson Miller says her administration has a record to stand on, since taking office in January 2012.
