Just over two and a half months after the passage of Hurricane Melissa, Energy Minister, Daryl Vaz, is hailing the progress made in restoring electricity to health and emergency services in the worst affected areas.
The Minister provided the update in the House of Representatives on Tuesday.
In addition to the restoration efforts for health services, Minister Vaz says several key water systems have also been brought back online.

The Jamaica Public Service Company, JPS, has announced that 92 percent of their customers across the country have had their electricity restored.
Minister Vaz says the accelerated restoration effort has been assisted by the 150 million dollar loan from the government to the light and power company.
