LEADER of the Opposition Jamaica Labour Party Andrew Holness said his party has been mobilised to assist in cleaning up communities in response to the current chik-V epidemic.
According to Holness, he has directed all members of parliament, councillors, and the wider party machinery to use whatever resources available to start an Anti-chik-V cleanup campaign.
"Communities are being impacted so we are doing what we can as a team interested in the welfare of Jamaica and Jamaicans," Holness said in release issued to the media yesterday.
He added further: "We have been sensitising Jamaicans over the past couple weeks on the spread of the epidemic, and we believe our education campaign has helped Jamaicans to protect themselves. This is another step."
Holness said he is of the view that all Jamaicans must come together to protect themselves.
"This virus is having a devastating impact on businesses, schools, and the wider society. We are Jamaicans and we must protect Jamaica. Our machinery can and will assist in any campaign to deal with the virus."
General secretary of the JLP Dr Horace Chang said the party machinery is ready.
"Our four area councils are ready, and we have been in the planning stages of moving from a public education to a public sanitation campaign," he said. more
