Opposition leader Mark Golding went off at a press conference and basically said the JLP government has no clue what's happening in western Jamaica after Hurricane Melissa wrecked the place. PNP reps claim relief distribution is messy and uncoordinated, with supplies sometimes going to people who don't even need them, while whole communities in Hanover get ignored. One MP said every board house in the parish got damaged and most schools in eastern Hanover lost their roofs.
Golding says he's been hitting up Prime Minister Andrew Holness on WhatsApp for over a week about fixes that need to happen but got left on read. The opposition thinks the government forgot Hanover exists and that donors are the only reason people out there aren't completely screwed. They questioned why MPs only got ten million for relief work and complained about being frozen out of decisions while communities still wait for basic help.
