Some 924 modular or containerised houses intended for victims of Hurricane Melisa are already in Jamaica with hundreds more on the way.

Government Senator Abka Fitz-Henley made the disclosure in a quick response to the question raised by Opposition Senator Dr Floyd Morris before Senate proceedings adjourned for the lunch break on Friday during the ongoing debate on the National Reconstruction and Resilience Authority (NaRRA) Bill.

Before the lunch break, Morris, the Opposition spokesman on housing and sustainable living said, “I want to know, weh di house dem deh. Where are the houses for the people that you (Government) have promised; the 5,000 container homes?”.
