The People's Questions

Bark Di Trute supporters are asking when the children's hospital in Montego will be opened. The Mayor of Montego Bay said it will be opened soon. There is a new building near the top of Mountain View Avenue, close to Hope Road. People want to know what this building is for and when it will be occupied. It has taken over nine years for the new organization to be created, which will replace the CAC and the Fair Trading Commission. When will this new organization be established? The CAC Tribunal has not been set up for some time now. How can consumers now get justice without the tribunal?

People called for a reduction in the rental of floors at Digicel. The PM says a reduction in the NaRRA will impact the performance of NaRRA. It seems to me that it would be a better idea to reduce the head of NaRRA's remuneration. Will Digicel reduce the cost of rental?

NWC

There is another leak at LaVentura off Washington Boulevard. A citizen reports:

Another leak. It has been ongoing for at least a week & a half & there is a stench coming from it. Located near to the pump house at L'Aventura 2a Wadhington Bouleverd. It has been reported & to date the matter has not been addressed.

Thanks in advance if you are able to deal with it.

NHT

This NHT matter has taken a long time to be resolved. The NHT beneficiary wrote to the NHT, and she could not get a response, so she contacted Bark Di Trute.

Bark Di Trute had to write to the general manager. He replied, but there was no action.

I wrote to the Chairman of the NHT and mentioned that I would escalate the matter to the PM if no action is taken. Listen to the NHT beneficiary below.
