“Ah don’t care who vex, go mek a song of it”

That was the retort from Prime Minister Dr. Andrew Holness, in response to criticisms about the Government’s handling of funds for Hurricane Melissa relief.

Dr. Holness’ remark follows criticism from Dancehall artiste Beenie Man, who took his concerns about the Government’s relief efforts to an international platform, sparking controversy and raising questions about the administration’s response to public criticism.

Speaking yesterday at the National Housing Trust’s 50th Anniversary Construction Scholarship Presentation Ceremony, Dr. Holness outlined how the Government spent funds for hurricane relief, including some channelled through the NHT.

The Prime Minister acknowledged that many people are still waiting on assistance.

Dr. Holness called on the scholarship recipients not to be swayed by false narratives in the public space.

He urged them to defend the integrity of the society.
