Three of the country's largest business groups have endorsed Major (Ret’d) Antony Anderson's appointment to head the National Reconstruction and Resilience Authority (NaRRA), the special-purpose body intended to fast-track major infrastructure and recovery projects following Hurricane Melissa.

The Jamaica Chamber of Commerce (JCC), Small Business Association of Jamaica (SBAJ), and the Incorporated Masterbuilders Association of Jamaica (IMAJ) described Anderson as a credible and experienced public servant with a track record of delivering results.

“On the face of it, he appears to have sufficient operational experience to take on the focus of NaRRA, which will be large infrastructure projects, which will involve the mobilisation of multiple resources,” JCC President Emile Leiba told The Gleaner.
