The Kingston and St. Andrew Municipal Corporation (KSAMC) says steps are being taken to address staffing shortages at the Corporation.
This will be done by increasing the number of building officers and enhancing their technical competency through additional training.
The move is part of the KSAMC’s effort to address deficiencies in its construction oversight, following a recent report by the Integrity Commission.
Chairman of the Corporation, Andrew Swaby, says to improve efficiency and transparency, the KSAMC will seek to introduce digital systems to track inspections, permits and compliance more effectively.
He notes that a comprehensive review of the agency’s procedures will also be undertaken.
