Prime Minister Dr. Andrew Holness has responded to concerns surrounding delays in the delivery of housing units under the government's New Social Housing Programme.
Dr. Holness says the delays are due to the inability of the contractor to complete the project according to schedule.
His response comes after two unfinished structures, expected to provide relief to separate families in Central Kingston, were featured in a story published by the Gleaner.
In a recent release, the Ministry of Economic Growth & Job Creation, which has responsibility for the programme, said steps taken to speed up completion included termination of the contract and re-engagement of the procurement process.
It says the relevant contract was terminated on December 30, 2024 due to non-performance.
The release further states that the tender process is being engaged to ensure that the project is completed by the end of February 2025.
