What's Happening - November 13, 2024

Mayor Andrew Swaby Meets with Vendors in Halfway Tree

Mayor Andrew Swaby


I just received information that the Mayor of Kingston and St. Andrew met with vendors in the Mandela Park in Kingston this afternoon. Let's hope that when the council decides to act those who did not turn up to the meeting said they did not know.

The last time I visited the Constant Spring Arcade I saw a few empty stalls there. Some vendors could be placed there. The council should get a plot of land and build a multistory building for the vendors.

Let's work with Mayor Swaby and all the councillors and make the city of Kingston become the deserving capital of the nation. Thanks to my On The Ground Reporter who sent me the video of the area in Mandela Park where the meeting was held. Let us look forward to Mayor Swaby's presentation of a beautiful capital called Kingston for Christmas, the most beautiful city in the Caribbean.


Businessman Killed in May Pen

The town of May Pen is in the spotlight again. Businessman Delroy Azan was killed this afternoon, a Bark Di Trute supporter reports. I have tried unsuccessfully to get information from the police. The numbers listed on the Internet and also given by the responder at 911, are not working.

Steven Shaw Is looking Tired and Bored These Days

The roads are in a terrible state. This has been the situation for a long time. Many roads are poorly constructed, poorly maintained and there is a lack of accountability in the construction and maintenance of our roads. We need to decentralise the maintenance of our roads. 

Stephen is looking tired and worn out these days. He must be tired of giving the people arguments and excuses when we need better-constructed, and better-maintained roads.

His skills could be better utilized in a court of law where judges listen to arguments.

 


Price Mart Changed Directions of the Escalators

I went to Price Mart recently and I noticed that they changed the directions of the escalators. The changes impacted some customers negatively. 

I spoke to a member of the management team who directed me to someone else. I told him I had already told him what the problem was and that he should discuss it with the rest of the management team. I told him that if I came back and did not see the signs, he would regret the day he was born.

The picture below shows that the member of the management team did not have to regret the day he was born.



I subsequently purchased goods and was at the cashier. A gentleman came close to me and started placing his things on the counter. I told him that I did not want another customer close to me while I was doing business with the cashier. The cashier insisted that it was OK. I made it clear that I had excellent reasons for not wanting another customer beside me. She started to argue with me and I had to make it clear that it could not happen. The smart customer just stepped back because he realized that I was just about to walk away. I have already stated in a previous blog why another customer should not be close to you at the cashier. 

Customers Should Not Pay Penalty for Overdue Bills

Can someone tell me who gave the utility companies the right to charge penalties for late payment of bills? My Digicel App was not working last night and therefore I was unable to pay the bill. By the next day, I got a message indicating that I was fined JAD500 dollars. Can you imagine the thousands of customers who had the same challenge and had to pay JAD500? 

I need to go into that business. OUR must stop the collection of a reconnection fee also. Gone are the days when a truck with workers had to come to our houses to disconnect electricity. Consumers must start fighting back. We are all fast asleep!

  2. I Have Often Wondered Who Authorized Utility Companies To Charge Late Fees For Bill Payments. NWC $250 JPS $250
    Both Companies Have Padded Our
    Bills To ReCover

  3. On the matter of deplorable Road surfaces, I drove on Weymouth Drive yesterday and was appalled at its condition. For such a heavily trafficked roadway I can imagine the congestion as motorists try to navigate the craters there.
