Earlier I was sworn in at King’s House as the State Minister in the Ministry of Local Government and Community Development (@LocalGovJa). I look forward to working alongside Minister McKenzie and the hard working team of Local Govt practitioners across Jamaica. I thank the Prime Minister The Most Hon. Dr @AndrewHolnessJM for his confidence in me and for the opportunity to serve as Minister of State. I must also congratulate my brother Minister Donovan Williams on his appointment as Minister of State in the Min. Of Labour and Social Security. @DWilliams_Ja

We are currently at the UNCCD COP17 in Mongolia, exploring the critical link between water and land. Healthy, restored land is essential to building drought resilience, strengthening water security, and advancing sustainable agriculture. As we address the challenges of a changing climate, investing in land restoration is key to creating more resilient communities and sustainable food systems.

The Jamaica Labour Party is condemning members of the PNP Executive, who in viral voicenotes were caught discussing potential baseless smear campaign against NaRRA CEO, and admitting that it is probable they (the PNP) will use delay tactics to frustrate projects under NaRRA.

Let us never forget that not one member of the opposition supported the NARRA Bill. The record speaks for itself. Jamaicans deserves the type leadership that focuses on action, not misinformation. The truth matters, and we will continue to stand on the facts. #CountryMP

The Government of Jamaica has been spending $67 billion from the budget on Hurricane Melissa relief and recovery efforts. This investment is supporting families, restoring critical infrastructure, and rebuilding key sectors which drive our economy.

This is in the middle of a committee meeting while other members have been spending 7+ hours minding the business of the people. This was clearly an attempt to distract and disrupt.

A few weeks ago your stance was that the Govt needs to move faster. The tune has now changed. Your question is framed in a very vague manner. Each scenario or assessment has its own merits. Some will already have protections and studies and others can be done as needed. The faster we get the relevant persons to work on the required tasks, the faster we are able to get work done and the faster we are able to get recovery to these persons.
Replying to @DWilliamsJam
Hi Mr. Williams. By what speedy means/processes will a minister " be informed of environmental protection and conservation, structural integrity, zoning and other planning issues, public safety, the International Fire Codes (IFC) and the International Building Codes (IBC)."?

The NaRRA Bill allows for the setting of processing timelines. It empowers the Minister to intervene in a structured manner to address matters of delays, etc. Setting timelines for different types of applications is a common practice within the MCs. It is common for MCs to set 21, 60 and 90 days timelines. The bill maintains this practice while placing the responsibility on the Minister to ensure the efficient processing of these applications. In other words, the Minister has to ensure that the processing time is adhered to or determine if there is a reasonable basis on the part of the approving entities for not doing so. The Minister arrives at a decision after evaluating all the issues (Building, planning, environmental, etc). A good bill.
