Opposition Spokesman on Agriculture Lothan Cousins
Opposition Spokesman on Agriculture Lothan Cousins is urging Minister of Agriculture Audley Shaw to provide an explanation for the dismissal of the Board of Directors of the Rural Agricultural Development Authority (RADA) and its immediate dissolution.
In a statement, Mr. Cousins said it was unacceptable that a major board which drives Jamaica's agricultural production and provides support services to thousands of farmers could be summarily dismissed, without an announcement from the portfolio minister.
Mr. Cousins added that since being appointed spokesman on agriculture, he has been complaining about RADA's direction and lack of focus on its core functions.
He called for Mr. Shaw to immediately name a new board of RADA.
