KINGSTON, Jamaica — In response to what he described as “grossly misleading narratives” concerning the Government’s expenditure on relief and recovery efforts in the aftermath of Hurricane Melissa, Senator Marlon Morgan said Friday the Government is spending $67 billion on the efforts. In a statement, the Jamaica Labour Party (JLP) Communication Taskforce member said: "The public should note that Finance Minister Fayval Williams had itemised the $67 billion being spent on Hurricane Melissa recovery and relief efforts, during her contribution to this year's budget debate." He continued, "The referenced expenditure includes approximately $10 billion to assist Jamaicans to repair their roofs. It also includes $5 billion provided via the National Works Agency (NWA) to conduct clean-up and other post-disaster relief activities, and approximately $1 billion was expended on the provision of care packages.” Morgan further noted that $3.2 billion has been expended to assist restoration of water supply, and an additional $3 billion to restore the agricultural sector.
