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. #NestaWorks #StrongerByDesign #InfrastructureResilience #BuildingJamaica #GoodWorks #ClimateResilience

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! #CountryMP

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. #Jamaica #Parliament #HouseOfRepresentatives #GoodGovernance #Leadership

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. #Leadership #Governance #Accountability #PublicService #WorkingTogether

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. #CountryMP #NestaWorks

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.

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. #NestaWorks

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. #NestaWorks

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. #NestaWorks

The second component has started.

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.

SPARK Programme UPDATE The Paving of Holland Village has been completed. Another Spark project progresses in St Elizabeth North Western. 📍Holland Village, St.Elizabeth North Western #NestaWorks #SPARKJA

Update: There is a bigger issue here related sewerage coming from the premises close by. We will advise the relevant 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. #CountryMP
