Cabinet has approved a proposal to restrict public sector entities from relocating their downtown Kingston offices.
Addressing journalists at the (Nov. 21) post-Cabinet press briefing at Jamaica House, Information Minister, Olivia Grange said this move is in keeping with "the commitment of the government of Jamaica to ensure the comprehensive and integrated redevelopment of downtown".
According to the Minister, the restriction applies to all ministries, agencies and department of government including executive agencies, statutory bodies, local government authorities, public enterprises, and government companies.
Minister Grange said that applications for an exemption from this restriction should be made to Cabinet "by means of a submission that fully articulates a reasonable justification to warrant approval of an exemption".
