The Ministry of Science, Energy, Telecommunications and Transport, (MSETT) was established on May 24, 2023. It is comprised of the former Ministry of Science, Energy and Technology (MSET) and the former Ministry of Transport and Mining, with the exception on the Mining portfolio, which upon announcement by the Most Honourable Prime Minister Andrew Holness, was transferred, along with all its related entities, to the newly formed Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries and Mining.

MSETT has portfolio responsibility for thirty (30) agencies and departments spanning the country’s science, energy, telecommunications and Transport sectors. This has a direct impact on its structure, mandate, mission and vision, and a broadening of its responsibilities. Consequently, there have been strategic changes compared with the previous year.
