EXECUTIVE director of Jamaica Accountability Meter Portal (JAMP) Jeanette Calder is warning that the situation that led to the recent ruling of the Constitutional Court in the Dry Harbour Mountain mining rights case could be repeated if the Government continues to ignore growing calls for systems of accountability and transparency to be woven into the National Reconstruction and Resilience Authority (NaRRA) Bill.

NaRRA is the body set up to lead the reconstruction efforts following the devastation caused by Hurricane Melissa last October.

Calder gave the warning on Tuesday during a virtual presentation to the Kiwanis Club of Kingston. Her presentation was titled ‘Trust, Power & Public Funds: Understanding the NaRRA Bill’.
