CDF Must Double for Education | Jamaica News

MP Phillip Paulwell is pushing to double the Constituency Development Fund, arguing that the current $20 million is woefully inadequate—especially for education. At a back-to-school event where he handed out laptops, he revealed he could only use $5 million from the CDF this year, supplementing with $3 million from the Ministry of Education and even personally raising $1 million. He emphasized that many students receive results late in August, leaving them behind by program deadlines. This isn’t an isolated call—just last week, MP Dr. Angela Brown Burke also demanded a 50% CDF increase to better serve her constituents.
