JISTV | Sitting of the House of Representatives @Oct 25 2024 10:00 PM
The House of Representatives may consist of 63 members (the maximum allowed by the Constitution), elected by single-member constituencies on the first-past-the-post basis. The Government in power can only exist if it has the support of the majority of the members of the House of Representatives. In practice, most Bills are initiated in the House of Representatives. No Bill may become law unless it is passed by a majority of the members present in the House. The quorum of the House is 16 in addition to the person presiding. The House of Representatives has control over the Government’s finances. Funds cannot be granted nor taxation levied without the approval of the House.

JISTV | ODPEM Jamaica Comprehensive Disaster Risk Management Policy Meeting @Oct 25 2024 03:33 PM
The Ministry of Local Government & Community Development and The Office of Disaster Preparedness and Emergency Management (ODPEM) is currently leading a series of consultations towards finalizing Jamaica’s Comprehensive Disaster Risk Management Policy (JCDRMP) 2024-2044. The policy was approved as a Green Paper (draft policy) by Parliament on July 19, 2022. As part of the process to finalise the Policy and to move it to a White Paper (final policy) a town hall consultation meeting is being hosted to invite the public to share perspectives. This will take place on Thursday, October 10, 2024, at the Girl Guides Association of Jamaica Headquarter, 2 Waterloo Road, Kingston 10, from 6 -8 pm. During the Town Hall Meeting, we look forward to examining the policy framework – including the guiding principles, goals and strategies of the policy – and hearing the public’s views and perspectives and obtaining their inputs on areas that should be included in the policy. Jamaica’s Comprehensive Disaster Risk Management Policy (JCDRMP) 2024-2044 is Jamaica’s first long-term national disaster risk management policy and is strategically designed to ensure that by 2044, Jamaica has strengthened its resilience, significantly reducing and where feasible eliminating the negative effects that are likely to arise from hazards, including those induced by climate change. The development and promulgation of the JCDRMP is a major step towards achieving sustainable development in Jamaica by 2044.
