KINGSTON, Jamaica — Scores of residents from the community Payne Land, along Spanish Town Road, on Saturday joined in the Prime Minister Portia Simpson Miller-led national cleanup initiative.
The move, designed to help rid the areas of mosquito breeding sites, was also supported by telecoms giant Digicel, whose staff members joined in the cleanup effort within several communities.
The maim of the cleanup exercise is to rid areas of the mosquitoes that spread the chikungunya virus.
Addressing the group during the exercise, Simpson Miller commended Digicel on its responsiveness and urged other corporate entities to follow suit in their own communities.
“I want to use Digicel as an example today for other corporates to join the national cleanup efforts in their communities. Let us all work together to clean up Jamaica,” she implored.?
