Robert Hill, CEO, Kingston & St. Andrew Municipal Corporation
With Carnival 2025 celebrations coming to a climax on Sunday afternoon, the Kingston & St. Andrew Municipal Corporation [KSAMC] says it is paying close attention is to the activities of the organisers and revellers.
This came in the wake of numerous complaints from business owners and householders on Saturday about the mess from paints on properties, vehicles and boundary walls along the route.
Robert Hill, CEO of the KSAMC, confirmed that his agency had received numerous complaints about defacement and the reported tardiness in cleaning up the paint.
Mr. Hill said the KSAMC was out until late evening monitoring post Jouvert activities on Saturday, but stressed that the KSAMC still had several concerns.
In an update late Sunday morning, he told Radio Jamaica Newsthat the KSAMC was working closely with
the National Solid Waste Management Authority, the St. Andrew Central Police, the Traffic Department of the Jamaica Constabulary Force, and its own Municipal Police, "stationed at strategic points... supervising, garbage collection," and monitoring littering.
He said the carnival bands had given firm commitments to see to the collection of litter at the end of the celebrations and the authorities will be monitoring that closely.
