KINGSTON, Jamaica — Mayor of Kingston Andrew Swaby has raised concerns about the financial constraints being experienced by the Kingston and St Andrew Municipal Corporation (KSAMC) amid the establishment of the One Road Authority.
“It is still not clear how the establishment of the One Road Authority will address the issue of inadequate financial resources for local authorities. There has been no clear indication on how municipal corporations will gain access to increased allocations needed to properly maintain and rehabilitate roads under our responsibility,” said Swaby during a meeting of the KSAMC on Tuesday.
The mayor also noted that the KSAMC Roads and Works Department continues to operate with fewer technical officers than required, and the authority to expand its capacity does not rest solely with the municipal corporation.
