THE Opposition Jamaica Labour Party (JLP) has blasted the Government over the size of the cellphone bills of a number of its ministers, declaring that taxpayers can no longer “afford” the ruling People’s National Party.
The Opposition took particular issue with bills for the cellphones assigned to junior minister in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Foreign Trade, Arnaldo Brown, and Minister of Science, Technology, Energy and Mining Phillip Paulwell as news emerged that they racked up sums of $1.09 million and $930,000, respectively over the course of 2013. Brown’s bill was nearly five times that of his senior, AJ Nicholson.
