PNP Junior Spokesperson on Local Government, Waynette Strachan, pointed out in a statement on Sunday that government officials have been touring specific areas, focusing solely on certain constituencies.

She asserted that selective attention to particular constituencies would not meet the expectations of the Jamaican people during this critical time.
But Minister Charles Junior says now is not the time for baseless “politicking”.
