Senator Kristina Moore has written to Jersey s Chief Minister to express the Scrutiny Liaison Committee s collective frustration at what she calls the mismanagement of the pandemic, which has led to a sudden and avoidable escalation in infections.
The letter outlines concerns about the standard of communication with islanders and says the press conference on Friday was hastily organised and, inexcusably given the seriousness of the matter at hand, it took States Members and the public by surprise .
It also says people were left confused about the restrictions and what they were able and not able to do in regard to going to work and appointments. Senator Moore goes on to say this led to a heightened level of concern and failing trust and suggests that a new government spokesperson needs to be found who can engage better with members of the public.
