Security has been beefed up around Minister of Water and Housing and Member of Parliament for North West St. James Dr. Horace Chang.
This comes in the wake of a reported plot on the life of the Minister.
Reports reaching our news centre are that the police received intelligence and quickly issued instructions for additional protection for Dr. Chang.
It reported that a major gang operating in Flankers, St. James has been linked to the plot.
Dr. Chang on Thursday night confirmed that he has been advised of the matter by the police and additional security measures have been put in place.
"Well I have been advised by the Police High Command in Montego Bay and I am accepting it in good faith and I have set in motion the necessary steps to beef up the security," said Dr. Chang.
Dr. Chang says he has been informed that the alleged plot might have been organised with the additional intent of targeting other members of the political directorate.
"What I have heard is that there is a threat on myself and it could extend to other members of the political directorate but in particular my name is involved. I feel it is coming from a group in the Flankers area but I have no confirmation," he continued.
