Opposition leader urges greater funding for hurricane relief

Opposition Leader Mark Golding has urged the Jamaican government to allocate at least $50 million to each Member of Parliament (MP) to facilitate clean-up and relief efforts in their constituencies following the devastation caused by Hurricane Melissa. This proposal, if implemented, would require a total government expenditure of $3.15 billion. Golding made the recommendation during a press conference at the Office of the Leader of the Opposition in St Andrew on Monday, emphasizing the urgent need for increased funding to address the widespread damage caused by the hurricane.
