Opposition Senator Cleveland Tomlinson raised concerns about the lack of proper oversight and accountability in the National Reconstruction and Resilience Authority (NaRRA) Bill. Tomlinson expressed these concerns during the debate on the Bill in the Senate. NaRRA is the body established to lead reconstruction efforts following Hurricane Melissa. Tomlinson stated the deficiencies in the Bill should be considered in the context of the trust the government is asking of the people. He questioned whether the government had demonstrated the probity and respect for institutional boundaries that would justify giving such unrestrained executive authority. Tomlinson argued that the government's record speaks for itself, citing adverse findings in the courts. He noted that NaRRA would sit outside the normal budgetary process, and its CEO could sign contracts of unlimited value without co-signatories. Tomlinson emphasized that good governance depends on systems and checks and balances. He added that the tragedy of the Bill is that it creates NaRRA without the necessary institutional architecture to make it trustworthy under any government.
