NaRRA has now received Royal Assent, which means it is officially law. The bill was debated, amended, and passed in both Houses of Parliament before receiving the Governor-General’s seal.
Much of the early coordination and preparation was led through the Cabinet Office, which helped bring together the work needed to complete this process.
With this step complete, NaRRA is now fully established under law with clear powers, duties, and responsibilities.
This is an important part of strengthening how we manage national assets and ensuring the system works in a structured and accountable way.
During Tuesday’s courtesy call with Fujitsu senior executives, I expressed my appreciation for their continued support to Jamaica, particularly in the aftermath of Hurricane Melissa and our ongoing recovery efforts.
I welcomed their contribution to key national digital transformation initiatives, including work with the National Land Agency and the Registrar General’s Department to improve the delivery of government services.
I also noted the importance of Fujitsu hosting its annual Americas Business Kickoff in Jamaica this week, and I value the continued partnership as we advance resilience and national development through technology.

Ambassador Audrey Marks, Minister of Efficiency, Innovation and Digital Transformation announced that Jamaica is moving fully into the digital age with the implementation of the Electronic Transactions Act and a new national e-transactions policy.
This means electronic signatures and digital documents will now be legally accepted across government, making it easier for citizens and businesses to complete transactions online without needing paper or in-person visits.
The policy will help speed up services, reduce delays, improve transparency, and allow things like registering businesses, signing documents, and accessing government services to be done faster and more efficiently.
The WMO Hurricane Committee has retired the name Melissa because of the destruction it caused in the Caribbean in 2025. It will be replaced by Molly on the list of rotating names.

The NHC released its *official* report on #Hurricane#MELISSA. This incredible storm now sits at the very top of Atlantic hurricane history:
* Peak intensity was bumped up to 165 knots, tying it with ALLEN 1980 for highest wind speed in Atlantic hurricane database.
* Landfall intensity in #Jamaica was kept at 160 knots, tying it with Labor Day 1935 (Florida) & DORIAN 2019 (Bahamas) for strongest landfall in Atlantic basin.
Penetrating this hurricane's eye & witnessing—feeling—its jaw-dropping power is something I'll never forget till the day I die. It was unlike any cyclone I've survived. I'm proud to have provided data, observations, damage surveys, & imagery to help this postanalysis.
BREAKING: The National Hurricane Center has upgraded Hurricane Melissa’s peak sustained winds to 190 MPH in post-season analysis.
This now makes her the STRONGEST Atlantic Hurricane in all of recorded history, tied with Hurricane Allen (1980).
Unbelievable.

Having had a front seat view to the struggles faced by patients suffering from poor circulation, two young medical doctors have partnered to make compression therapy more affordable and accessible to Jamaicans.
Dr Mickhail Benjamin and Dr Duhaney Johnson, a pair of 29 year-olds who have been friends since high school at St George’s College, founded Uniflo Compression Wear in 2023, offering compression garments – including stockings, socks and ripple mattress covers – at what the principals say are a fraction of the cost compared to competitors.
