KINGSTON, Jamaica — Government Senator Abka Fitz-Henley has pushed back firmly against talk that the National Reconstruction and Resilience Authority (NaRRA) Bill lacks oversight and accountability.

The Bill, which is currently being debated in the Senate, will give legal authority to the NaRRA, the body set up by the Government to lead reconstruction efforts in the aftermath of Hurricane Melissa which caused US$12.2 billion in damage when it slammed into southwestern parishes last October.

Fitz-Henley acknowledged the argument being proffered that there are not enough mechanisms for accountability available to govern NaRRA.
