In the aftermath of the termination of Community-Based Environmental Protection and Enhancement Programme (CEPEP) contracts, San Fernando Mayor Robert Parris says, the city has seen a noticeable uptick in demand for short-term employment.
Yesterday, Parris also said the San Fernando City Corporation had received some complaints from residents on the maintenance of some public spaces, such as cemeteries and recreational grounds, which CEPEP had previously helped to trim and keep clean.
Two weeks ago, about 300 CEPEP contracts were scrapped as a result of what Public Utilities Minister Barry Padarath described as corruption and political misuse within the programme.
