KINGSTON, Jamaica — Newly minted Member of Parliament (MP) for St Andrew North Central, Delano Seiveright, has welcomed the decision of Prime Minister Dr Andrew Holness to appoint him minister of state in the Ministry of Industry, Commerce and Investment, which is led by Senator Aubyn Hill.
“This is a new challenge and one that I welcome. The prime minister has made it clear that with economic stability achieved, the next step is boosting long-term growth and productivity, and this ministry will be a key part of that,” Seiveright told Observer Online.
His contributions strengthened the country’s global competitiveness, expanded airlift from key markets, attracted billions of dollars in new investments, improved opportunities for tourism workers, and deepened linkages with the wider economy.
