Opposition Spokesman on Works, Mikael Phillips, while appreciative of the money for Christmas programmes, has urged the Government to reconsider some of the designated allocations.
He was reacting to the Prime Minister’s announcement in Parliament yesterday that each Member of Parliament will be allocated $16 million for Christmas programmes, such as drain cleaning and de-bushing.
Mr. Phillips lamented that the once a year programme is not enough.
He called on the Prime Minister to allow for more funding for de-bushing.
