Chairman of the People’s National Party’s region five, Kern Spencer, has criticized the Government’s handling of the country’s economy.

He said region five residents, like all citizens across Jamaica, are being faced with severe financial challenges.

He also pointed out that residents from the region are continuously inconvenienced when traversing poor roadways in the area. This, he explained has also contributed to residents’ financial burdens when they have to fix motor vehicles.

He said people are fed up.

Mr. Spencer also lambasted the Government for its management of waste in St Elizabeth and Manchester.

Mr Spencer was speaking following a regional executive meeting at the Brompton Primary School in St Elizabeth at the weekend.
