NaRRA bill gets House's go ahead after marathon debate
The House of Representatives descended into chaos late Tuesday, following the suspension of Opposition legislator Dr Angela Brown Burke, who was accused of lifting the Mace, marring the deliberations ahead of victory for the Government which used its majority to pass the contentious NaRRA bill. The Opposition called for a divide on the proposed legislation – the National Reconstruction and Resilience Authority bill – designed to guide Jamaica’s reconstruction efforts following the passage of Hurricane Melissa that left western Jamaica devastated.
