According to ODPEM 24,000 houses were completely destroyed. 190,000 homes had severe structural damages Over 1/2 million residents in 4 parishes were displaced. Yet, I hear persons asking a year after and what.. A year later those persons expect that 54% of our taxes exhausted on care packages, clean up etc can fix everything in less than 12 months. I say less than 12 months because we had to assess and clean up before anything happened for the residents. Yes, some things could be faster, there is no denying but to ask such a question is ridiculous for any country to clean up, provide roofs, structure, build back hospitals, police stations, health Centres, schools in 12 months is asking a small developing state too much. This was a category 5 hurricanew that brought such devastation never seen before on our soil. We were able to bring electricity back to the people in 4-5 months. So far, the government has assisted 54,000 Jamaicans with cash back to help with rebuilding, $12.5 billion dollars spent. Another $9.5 billion was announced by the PM yesterday for the remaining homes assessed. I am proud to say that even with the devastating impact of Melissa and the spend, not one public servant has been laid off. This is leadership and we should be proud Jamaicans knowing we are in a financially secure place after Melissa impacted so many. Let us think and stop the partisan rhetoric because that's what it is. #COVID, #BERYL,#MELISSA.
