Expression of Gratitude

Madam Speaker, I rise this afternoon to close the budget debate on the Appropriation Bill for the upcoming 2024/25 Fiscal year.

I take the opportunity to welcome Jamaicans here in Jamaica and in the diaspora for tuning in on radio, television, or through YouTube, Instagram, Facebook, Twitter or other online platforms.

Thank you for your participation.

The debate has been vibrant, passionate and colourful.

On behalf of the people of Jamaica I thank the contributors to the debate, the Most Honourable Prime Minister, for delivering a presentation of substance, a presentation that demonstrates the achievement of this government and a presentation that delivered hope.

Born in a Spanish Town board house, studying hard at school, take out your student loan, and working for an NGO before rising to become prime minister, you are an inspiration to many millions of Jamaicans.

You keep moving the ball forward for the Jamaican people.
