Opposition Spokesman on Rural and Community Development, Dr Kenneth Russell has expressed concern at the appointment of losing Jamaica Labour Party (JLP) candidates in the last local and general elections to senior positions within the Social Development Commission (SDC). Russell highlighted the issue on Wednesday during his contribution to the Sectoral Debate in the House of Representatives. Describing it as a “very disconcerting pattern”, Russell said “we see a number of former JLP candidates who lost in the elections appointed to senior roles in the SDC”.
