Opposition blasts national budget

Apr 25, 2013

KINGSTON, Jamaica, CMC - The main opposition Jamaica Labour Party (JLP) has blasted the Portia Simpson Miller led administration saying the country is worse off than when it demitted office in 2012.
Responding to the J$521 billion (One Jamaica dollar = US$0.01 cents) tax free budget presented by Finance Minister Dr. Peter Phillips last week, former finance minister Audley Shaw said under his stewardship between 2007-2011, the economy was in a much better state.
Shaw said when the JLP demitted office in January 2012, it left behind several indications of an economy recovering from the 2008 global economic recession.
