KINGSTON, Jamaica—The People’s National Party (PNP) is demanding answers following the move by the Government to impose an immediate moratorium on official overseas travel across the public sector until March 31, 2027.
According to the Government, this is to contain expenditure and redirect resources towards national recovery and reconstruction following the devastation caused by Hurricane Melissa.
But the PNP, in a media release, questioned whether the ban is a genuine effort to control costs or simply a public relations exercise, coming immediately after millions of dollars were committed to the newly established NaRRA (National Reconstruction and Resilience Authority).
