Written bySugar Ray Thomas
Works Minister Robert Morgan has called on Kingston Mayor Andrew Swaby to publish a list of road repairs that have been completed, are underway and scheduled across the 40 divisions of the Kingston and St Andrew Municipal Corporation (KSAMC).
The call follows Mayor Swaby’s criticism of the Minister’s interest in the KSAMC’s handling of road rehabilitation.
Speaking at the Corporation’s monthly meeting yesterday, the Mayor said his Administration has spent more on road repairs than the previous municipal leadership.
He contended that the KSAMC cannot spend its available funds only on road repairs.
In a statement today, Mr. Morgan said the KSAMC receives about 20 per cent of the allocation for road repairs in local government.
He said the Municipality has not provided a breakdown of any completed repair, to show whether or not the funds have been spent efficiently.
Mr. Morgan said the Mayor should not have any difficulty with his call for accountability and transparency, regarding road rehabilitation across Kingston and St Andrew.
