Morgan moves to clarify SPARK road comment regarding North Central Clarendon

Posted by Mahiri Stewart | 16 Oct, 2026

Works minister, Robert Morgan, has moved to clarify the comment he made that none of the roads in his constituency made the cut for the main road component of SPARK.

Speaking on Cliff Hughes Online on Thursday, Minister Morgan said some parishes and constituencies were not included in this component due to the programme criteria.

He then stated that not even he, as minister, could get any of the roads in his constituency included on this leg of SPARK.

Morgan is the Member of Parliament for North Central Clarendon.

SPARK is the Shared Prosperity through Accelerated Improvement to our Road Network programme.

The minister contacted our news centre on Thursday afternoon to say he misspoke.
