He is not my cousin.
That declaration came from Prime Minister Dr. Andrew Holness in response to a claim of familial ties to newly appointed head of the National Reconstruction and Resilience Authority (NARRA) Antony Anderson.
The matter sparked concerns of nepotism, with calls for Dr. Holness to state what connection, if any, exists with Anderson.
Speaking yesterday a special meeting of the Cabinet and representatives of various government agencies to propose projects for the NARRA, Dr. Holness rubbised the claim.
The NARRA will serve as the central coordinating authority for post hurricane reconstruction, with a mandate to eliminate bureaucracy, reduce fragmentation, and prevent project delays.
Dr. Holness reemphasised that Anderson’s task is to get things done.
