Minister with responsibility for Works, Robert Morgan, is reiterating that the projects being done under the Main Road component of the SPARK programme are not politically motivated.
Morgan was speaking to host George Davis on Nationwide’s Cliff Hughes Online on Thursday.
He was responding to Central Westmoreland MP, the PNP’s Dwayne Vaz, who has expressed disappointment that certain roads in Westmoreland were not included in work done earlier under SPARK.
The government announced in July that $25 billion had been earmarked to rehabilitate 37 priority roads under the Main Roads component of SPARK.
Prime Minister, Dr. Andrew Holness, said this component is designed to rehabilitate critical infrastructure, reduce traffic congestion, and drive increased economic activity.
Morgan says despite being the Works Minister, he could not get a specific road in his North Central Clarendon constituency added to the programme.
But he adds that his constituency will still benefit from the rehabilitation of a shared road.
