Opposition Leader Mark Golding believes the public backlash the government is facing regarding the salary of the National Reconstruction and Resilience Authority, NaRRA, chief executive is due to the lack of assistance still being felt by people in western Jamaica following Hurricane Melissa.

Golding says the government’s ability to fund NaRRA’s staff and offices comes despite what he says is its inability to adequately fund certain restoration efforts in the west.
