Minister of Local Government and Community Development Desmond McKenzie has expressed sadness at the passing of former Mayor of May Pen and Councillor for the Mineral Heights Division Milton Brown.
“This is a great loss for the system of Local Government.
As Mayor of Kingston and St Andrew during that time, I also got to see first-hand, his commitment to local governance and his effective advocacy as President of the Association of Local Government Authorities of Jamaica (ALGAJ).
“Since becoming Councillor for the Mineral Heights Division in 1998, Milton Brown endeared himself to his constituents, and provided them with a special brand of leadership.
Even as I express condolences to his immediately family, friends and the wider family in the Mineral Heights Division and the Jamaica Labour Party, I give thanks for his years of devoted, outstanding service to the party, to local government and to Jamaica,” said McKenzie in a statement today.
