KINGSTON, Jamaica—Opposition spokesman on Transport, Mikael Phillips, has asserted that “the Government’s short-sighted decision” to securitise future cash flow at the island’s two international airports to address fiscal demands, including the SPARK road programme, has “effectively mortgages the future of the next generation”. Phillips made the assertion on May 13 during his contribution to the Sectoral Debate in the House of Representatives. SPARK (Shared Prosperity through Accelerated Improvement to our Road Network), is a $45 billion programme designed to rehabilitate over 660 roads across all 63 constituencies.
