THE Jamaica Civil Service Association (JCSA) has rebuked National Environment and Planning Agency (NEPA) for its decision to interdict the officer who was the first to highlight breaches at the housing development owned by National Water Commission (NWC) President Mark Barnett and his wife Annette. At the same time, JCSA has called for an immediate amendment of the Public Service Regulations, charging that various managers have been weaponising the interdiction.
Senior trade unionist Vincent Morrison has questioned the role of the National Environment and Planning Agency (NEPA) board during the initial discovery of breaches at the housing development owned by National Water Commission President Mark Barnett and his wife Annette Francis-Barnett, charging that NEPA’s interdiction of the inspector, who was the first to highlight the irregularities, is suspect. The officer who the Jamaica Observer was told had responsibility.
