The Office of Disaster Preparedness and Emergency Management (ODPEM) is still yet to submit signed documents to the auditor general confirming that the Jamaica Defence Force (JDF) received $34 million in donated roofing materials.
The revelation was made on Tuesday during a meeting of the Parliament’s Public Accounts Committee (PAC), where members continued for a second week a review of the auditor general’s Hurricane Melissa Relief Initiative Audit report.
In the report, which was tabled in May, Auditor General Pamela Monroe Ellis stated that of the $122.5 million in Hurricane Melissa building supplies delivered to JDF locations, only $88.6 million was formally acknowledged as being received by the army, representing 72.2 per cent of total deliveries.
