KINGSTON, Jamaica — Opposition Spokesman on Housing and Sustainable Living, Professor Senator Floyd Morris, has criticised the Government over what he described as its failure to distribute containerised houses intended for people affected by Hurricane Melissa, despite assurances that the units have arrived in Jamaica.

In a release on Monday, Morris said it was unacceptable that, nine months after Hurricane Melissa destroyed the homes of thousands of Jamaicans, not a single family had received one of the 5,000 containerised houses the Government had committed to purchasing.

“It is a disgrace,” Morris said.
