Prime Minister’s Independence Message 2026My fellow Jamaicans,Today we celebrate our Independence. Homes, schools, roads, bridges, water systems, farms and businesses were damaged across the country. Through the National Reconstruction and Resilience Authority, NaRRA, we are creating the capacity to coordinate, finance and deliver reconstruction at a scale not seen since Independence. Since Independence, successive governments have built important highways, housing developments, schools, hospitals, water systems and public facilities. The water systems we construct determine where families can live and businesses can invest.
