The government has allocated $10 million to each constituency to facilitate the clean-up of debris left in the wake of Hurricane Melissa.
Additionally, government will allocate $150,000 to each divisional councillor.
Prime Minister, Dr. Andrew Holness said the National Clean-Up Programme follows reports by the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) that Hurricane Melissa left more than 4.8 million tonnes of debris across the island.
This is equivalent to approximately 480,000 standard truck loads.
Speaking in Parliament yesterday, Dr. Holness explained that the constituency allocations cover drain cleaning, vector control, de-bushing and waste removal.
The Prime Minister said about 200 persons in each constituency will be employed for the programme.
He said additional trucks and heavy equipment are being acquired for the programme.
Members of Parliament and councillors in the targeted areas will receive detailed instructions and guidelines.
Letters confirming allocations and outlining the utilization process will be issued by Friday.
