Water Crisis in Areas of Kingston and St. Andrew

Some areas served by the NWC Constant Spring treatment facility are now facing a crisis with no water in the pipes. Residents have been without water since Saturday, November 30, 2023. Before that, the water pressure was low. A Bark Di Trute supporter said that he saw a heavy water flow on Constant Spring Road, which seemed to have resulted from a broken water main.

The matter was reported to the National Water Commission. NWC says they are dealing with the inflow challenge.

Police Chasing Motorists:

Mi sorry fi di poor police dem. Dem complain say dem naw work, and when dem do dem work, dem blame dem.

It is amazing how people in traditional and non-traditional media are blaming the police for the deaths of those two students who lost their lives in a taxi in Clarendon yesterday. 

Am I to assume that when police see people who could be criminals in a vehicle, they should not chase them? The police should leave them alone so they can continue to be a menace to society. I say no. Chase them, capture them, and charge them, and we hope the court can convict them and put them away for a long time.

It is the transportation system that is in a mess and not the police force. Many of us support the nastiness we see on our roads.

I would suggest that the transport authority set up a website which gives commuters access to all PPV vehicle licenses on the roads so that commuters can know which vehicles are legal. Commuters could use the app to take a pictures and report the illegal ones. 

When a society allows wickedness to reign, we hug up criminals, we hug up indiscipline, we hug up the nastiness, and then we have no choice but to hug up the results of all of this. We can only hope and pray that retribution doesn't reach us.

Mound Left in Road Waiting to Cause an Accident:


This mound shown in the above picture, was seen opposite Fontana on West Kings House Road, last Sunday, December 1, 2023, at 1944 EST. Was this left there by NWC or NWA?  No one seems to care these days. Who is in charge? People feel they can do what they want to do. We criticize politicians, but we need to have a look at those who lead in the public service.

There was no sign there to indicate there was a challenge ahead. I am lucky that I did not run into the mound. Who would replace my car? Dawg woulda nyam mi supper.

  2. As it relates to policing I have a problem, we can't seems to copy the good things from America why it's mostly the bad we copy? There are standard procedures when seeking to stop a get away motorists, one such way is laying spike or drive behind the driver until it's safe to apprehend same or run the licence plate, what is so hard in doing same smh man.

    1. Many of these cars have illegal plates. Do not fall into the trap of blaming the police. It is not the police that is creating mayhem on our roadways. It is not the police who are killing innocent people in motor vehicle accidents. Targeting the police and demoralizing the police force is what the criminals and the indiscipline people want. Tell the drivers to stop when the police say stop.(Make sure it is police and not gunmen.)

    2. Police chase drivers in America and other countries. They definitely do not allow them to just drive away!

    3. I absolutely agree with the commenter regarding pursuing cautiously until it's safe to apprehend if necessary. In everything there should be order. Two wrongs can't make a right.

  3. Regarding the life certificates. Can't the various entities get the information from RGD?

  4. The government, previous and now, are to blame. Firstly the route taxis are not being properly dealt with. They need to be harshly punished. Majority of them are a menace to society. Secondly, why is it that our government cannot get our public transportation in order. Because of this we the commuters have to be taking these lawless taxis in order to go to work, school and home. The government must sort out the public transportation system and quick, and get these taxis off the road. God have mercy on Jamaica
