  • Alando Terrelonge calls for legislation to grant Portmore independent parish status to safeguard municipal revenues.

  • This appeal arises amid fraud allegations and a MOCA raid on the St Catherine Municipal Corporation.

  • Currently, Portmore’s tax revenues are pooled into St Catherine Parish and not sufficiently reinvested locally.

  • Achieving parish status would allow direct investment in local infrastructure and services benefiting Portmore residents.
  • Portmore residents contribute significantly to Jamaica’s economy, but we are not reaping the benefits of our hard work. Parish status will ensure that the funds we generate stay here, supporting our people and driving our development.
    — Alando Terrelonge, MP for St Catherine East Central, in a media release advocating parish status for Portmore
