Holness eyes foreign labour for NaRRA

Prime Minister Dr Andrew Holness has reiterated that the National Reconstruction and Resilience Authority (NaRRA) may have to source some of the skills needed to rebuild western Jamaica from overseas amid a shortage of skilled labour in the construction industry. Speaking at a National Housing Trust (NHT) ceremony at which 25 young Jamaicans were awarded scholarships under the agency’s Construction Scholarship Programme, Holness said it was time for the industry to expand its capacity to meet the country’s demands.
