A quick drive around Kingston and St Andrew leaves one worried as to when there will be an explosion in the rodent population in the country. Garbage is seen piled up at homes, on the street, by dumpsters and is rotting away, as the garbage collection process appears to have stopped.
In today Gleaner Jennifer Edwards wants to act against those persons who choose to burn garbage and while she is correct, what has she done since being politically appointed to this job to improve the garbage collection process in and around Kingston.
We complain about the people throwing garbage in the gullies , streams etc, but what alternatives have we provided to the people for them to stop this rather nasty habit?
Like most managers appointed in the public service, this woman is failing badly, but will retain her position given she was a political appointee and no matter how lousy her performance, she will retain that job until she decides to leave or her party loses an election.
Jennifer Edwards is leading a failing organization and needs to be removed from this position and someone with more experience in public solid waste management be appointed to this position.
There should be no room for mediocrity in this area, given the serious public health risk that is associated with improper garbage collection and disposal practices.
The NSWMA head needs to be dumped !

Not just Kingston and St. Andrew. It is the entire island. I live in Portmore and the garbage have not been collected in weeks.
