Recently we checked on the reconstruction and modernization of the Over River Bridge in East Central St. James. Following severe damage from Hurricane Melissa, we aren't just fixing what was broken, we are completely upgrading this critical piece of infrastructure to guarantee absolute resilience against future storms.
The National Works Agency is utilizing advanced engineering designs and high-grade materials to heavily reinforce the foundational infrastructure. This upgraded layout expands the bridge span to combat riverbank erosion and features a newly poured abutment to anchor the crossing securely above historical flood levels.
Under the mandate of Prime Minister Andrew Holness, every piece of public infrastructure we build must put climate resilience and public safety first. Thank you to the residents, commuters, and farming communities of East Central St. James for your continued cooperation as we deliver a stronger, safer Jamaica.

Thank you to everyone who took the time to call, send a message or share a birthday wish. Every gesture was appreciated and made the day even more meaningful.
I am blessed to have your continued love and support. Cheers to another year!
Yesterday morning, we had the privilege of joining the Clarendon College family for its annual Prize Giving Ceremony.
We were pleased to present four students with the Pansie Porteous Scholarship Award, with each recipient receiving $50,000 in recognition of their hard work and dedication to their studies.
Investing in our students is investing in the future of North Central Clarendon.
Congratulations to all the awardees and keep striving for excellence!

If you tune in to Parliament on any given Tuesday, a troubling pattern is hard to miss. We have seen instances where the Speaker is left standing as opposition members turn on their microphones, disrupting and drowning out the proceedings.
Let us be clear: we remain open to dialogue and consensus. There are active channels between both sides for that very purpose. However, meaningful dialogue cannot take place under intimidation, disruption or duress.
Parliament must remain a place of respect, order and constructive debate.

True leadership means holding the line on respect and order, even when tensions run high. When you disagree with a ruling, shutting down the business of the people isn't the answer. Members of Parliament must know the rules, respect the process, and work together across the aisle to address our challenges.
Disagreement shouldn't mean disruption. Let’s keep the country moving forward.

Building #ABettaPlace takes vision, collaboration and consistent work. It starts with getting the foundation right.
A day in the life, working towards that vision!
From honouring those who served at our Remembrance Day Ceremony to important discussions with NROCC and SJE, engagement with the U.S. Embassy team and an interview with All Angles, each engagement plays a part in laying the foundation for stronger infrastructure, better partnerships and a better Jamaica.

Why is Mayor Swaby using rehabilitation costs when his announced programs are patching?
We know the difference and this is why we need the list published Mayor. Please.
Kingston Mayor Andrew Swaby has challenged Works Minister Robert Morgan to acknowledge the funding challenges facing municipal corporations across Jamaica, arguing that the deteriorating state of the country’s roads cannot be blamed on local authorities without recognising the inadequate resources available to them.

Today, we welcomed a team from the U.S. Department of Commerce’s Commercial Law Development Program (CLDP) and the U.S. Department of State to discuss technical assistance in support of Jamaica’s development priorities, particularly the work of the National Reconstruction and Resilience Authority (NaRRA).
The engagement focused on identifying areas of collaboration and how this support can strengthen NaRRA’s capacity to deliver on its mandate.

Several roads have been selected complete rehabilitation under the Spark Programme.
This includes 37 main roads across Jamaica. These major corridors include Molynes Road, the Harbour View to Windward Road corridor via Sir Florizel Glasspole Boulevard, Stony Hill Road, Toco, Golden Spring, Cooper Ridge, extending from Papine to Garden Town, and the Spanish Town Bypass.
We have already commenced works under the main road component of the Spark Programme with others to be started soon.

Yesterday, we led a productive engagement session with business leaders from across Western Jamaica, providing updates on ongoing water infrastructure projects, addressing concerns and discussing key priorities for the region.
Joined by my colleagues, Ministers Matthew Samuda and Delano Seiveright, CEO of the National Works Agency (NWA), Stephen Edwards, and representatives from consulting firms, the NWA and the National Water Commission (NWC), we exchanged perspectives and explored ways to strengthen collaboration in addressing the needs of Western Jamaica.
These discussions are important as we work together to address infrastructure needs and support the region’s development.

Strengthening Jamaica’s road infrastructure requires collaboration, careful planning and a clear vision for the future.
Today, we met with the World Bank team as part of the ongoing One Road Authority (ORA) reform initiative. The engagement provided an opportunity to advance technical discussions, build consensus among key stakeholders and agree on clear next steps and timelines for implementation.
Our focus remains on strengthening how we manage, coordinate and deliver road infrastructure across Jamaica.

Well I did my research and found out that the JLP government is actually fixing the roads under the SPARK programme however the "main roads" component just started September 2026, they expect the project to be done by May 2027. So mek we see nuh...
Molynes Road Update:
We have completed the rehabilitation of Molynes Road, extending all the way to Bert’s Auto.
Another section of roadway improved, making daily commutes easier and more comfortable for motorists and commuters.

I don’t know which parliament you are watching but what happened is rare and whenever it happened there has been consequences.
We are governed by the Standing Orders.
The standing orders were approved by the Standing Orders Committee populated by both sides.
Replying to @dcesjam
Duane, we have seen a practice in Parliament of people in the aisle at its recess throughout on both sides. Unless there is evidence presented that over the years it has been enforced, practice shifts seem to trump rules. That is what I am focused on.
SPARK Programme UPDATE
The Paving of Holland Village has been completed.
Another Spark project progresses in St Elizabeth North Western.

Update:
There is a bigger issue here related sewerage coming from the premises close by.
We will advise the relevant authority.
I will ask the @NWA_JA fix this next week.
Fundamentally though, it is challenging for us to keep fixing KSAMC roads while the ones we are responsible for are deplorable.
The public really doesn’t care and shouldn’t care who owns a road and that’s why we are to launch the One Road Authority.
Good morning from #ABettaPlace!
Never be ashamed of where you come from. Your roots are not a weakness; they are your strength. They shape your values, your character and your work ethic.
Never let anybody kill your roots. Be proud of where you come from, because where you start does not determine how far you can go.
