Health officials are probing whether two people involved in post-Melissa cleanup efforts in Catherine Hall and Westgreen, St James, died from leptospirosis, a bacterial disease often spread by water contaminated with rat urine. Read more: jamaica-gleaner.com/article/lead-s… #GLNRToday

When Dr Alfred Dawes warned about this happening a week ago he was ignored.

In a time of crisis, that should be bringing people together, the political divide couldn’t be any wider. Most unfortunately, it’s coming from the top. If you have government ministers and high-ranking members behaving like this, how can you tell a supporter to do otherwise?

Leader of Opposition Business in the House of Representatives Re: Government’s Misrepresentation of the Opposition’s Call for Genuine Oversight The opposition has been consistent, transport and unwavering in it's call for a national task force, one that goes beyond Parliament

Andrea Purkiss, Member of Parliament for Eastern Hanover, has raised an alarm that my training compels me to validate. Her constituency—30,000 souls in a parish of 64,000, all affected by Melissa—received 250 care packages, five coverings, and fifty cases of water from the

Shadow Minister of Finance Julian Robinson pressed the Government for transparency around the US$6.7 billion recovery package. He also called for updated debt-to-GDP projections, details on loan terms, and clarity on moratoria, repayment periods, and the private-sector component.

There has been much discussion about the $6.7 billion in recovery funds, but the country still needs clear answers on what is guaranteed and what remains uncertain. Only part of the support announced so far is fully secured, while the remainder depends on Jamaica being able to

PAULWELL DEMANDS FULL TRANSPARENCY FROM JPS ON BILL INCREASE Shadow Minister on Energy, Phillip Paulwell, has issued a forceful challenge to Jamaica Public Service Company (JPS) following its notice of a 7 per cent bill increase attributed to Hurricane Melissa. Mr Paulwell

darylvazmp JLP has been in power a decade with every opportunity to renegotiate any aspect of the licence. But let’s look at the facts: 1. The fuel clause has been in all licenses, including the one in 2008 signed by JLP. 2. under the very license you are blaming the price

The fact is this government has wasted a lot of time in updating the legal framework for electricity. PNP Jamaica passed Electricity Act in 2015 & mandated a full review in 2020 . The government has failed to complete this work. So here we are a decade later. All talk NO action.

PNP Jamaica Please note, we left draft Regulations in 2016 to properly regulate the Liquified Natural Gas (LNG)sector. darylvazmp is STILL sitting on this. Instead of getting to work he’s busy shouting about bad mind. Is it that he doesn’t realise this would help to lower electricity

Why is darylvazmp afraid to do a one on one public debate with me on the high price of electricity ? Is he afraid that it will be revealed that he doesn’t have a clue about the various policy options and that we don’t have to wait until 2027 for a new JPS licence

Daryl you’re struggling and I realise you need help. First and foremost we don’t have to wait until 2027 to have new terms. All of this could have been done in the 10 years you did nothing. In the end it’s government policy that will cause the price of electricity to decrease

Daryl this is such foolishness. Someone sued claiming that the licence was illegal and it was overturned by the court. It’s clear that you don’t understand what being a legislator on behalf of the people means but you also don’t understand legal matters. It’s also why you

Daryl - so you’ve spent your entire day digging around for things to try and “discredit” me instead of focusing on the real issues which are the ridiculous cost of light bills, lack of plans for renewables and 0 action on policy to help lower costs. Let’s talk track record. When
