Members of Parliament (MPs) from the People’s National Party (PNP) have voiced strong criticism against the Jamaican Government’s handling of the recovery process following Hurricane Melissa. At a press conference held at the Office of the Leader of the Opposition, PNP legislators from Westmoreland and Hanover expressed their frustration over the widespread homelessness and suffering experienced by thousands of Jamaicans. Dr. Dayton Campbell, MP for Westmoreland Eastern, highlighted the extensive damage, estimating that approximately 5,000 houses were completely destroyed, with many others suffering significant damage to infrastructure. He praised the efforts of private sector entities and non-governmental organizations for stepping in to provide relief, but criticized the Government’s response as inadequate, delayed, and politically motivated. Campbell emphasized the need for urgent intervention to provide temporary housing for displaced individuals and called for greater involvement of elected officials in the distribution of aid. Other MPs, including Duane Vaz, Ian Hayles, Heatha Miller-Bennett, and Andrea Purkiss, also expressed disappointment with the Government’s approach, citing issues with shelter conditions, relief distribution, and the under-reporting of devastation in their constituencies. They urged the Government to take more decisive action to address the humanitarian crisis and ensure that affected communities receive the support they need.
