What happened
The Jamaican Government revised its spending plans for the National Reconstruction and Resilience Authority (NaRRA) following public protests. NaRRA had previously signed a five-year lease for J$120 million annually at the Digicel building. The Information Minister stated that the Government decided to stage the rollout of NaRRA, starting with significantly less space to reduce costs.
