Riverton City Dump Fire's Government Connections

News on the government's connection with the Riverton City dump fires is finally coming to light. Over the years, people were falsely led to believe that the residents of the community were primarily responsible for setting the dump on fire. However, since this recent fire got out of hand and greatly impacted the health, education, businesses of such a large cross section of the Kingston, St. Andrew, and St. Catherine, news sources finally began an investigation of this recurring problem. Not surprising, the news indicate that the government may have played a part in the spate of fires that have been occurring at the dump over the year. Reports have shown that these fires occur twice or three times at particular periods each year. The Inter Development Bank (IDB) provided $12 million to the Jamaican government with the understanding that the government would match the amount to convert the dump into a landfill. Yet, the government indicates that they have no money to secure a modern, sanitary landfill.  They claim that they can't afford to restructure the dump; however, reports indicate that the government has no difficulty finding millions of dollars every time the dumps are on fire to pay the politically connected supporters with thousands of hours of overtime and contractors such as those owning trucks and  D9 and D10 tractors that are used at the dumps during the frequent fires. Surely, the total costs to pay the politically connected must have accrued so far over $12 million which the government was suppose to match with the unaccountable $12 million from the IDB. But, there is a lot of money to be made in setting the dump on fire, and the poor residents of Riverton City are certainly not the benefactors of this money making government scheme. It is a shame that such a criminal act has been instigated at the expense and health of residents. The incompetence of the government clearly indicates the shame among their own board of directors whose names and photos are missing from its website.

UPDATE 3/19/2015: In response to an interviewer's question that Jennifer Edwards should be fired our dear Prime Minister, Portia Simpson responded - "She (Jennifer Edwards) didn't set the fire!" What an embarrassing, untelligent statement from the mouth of a prime minister.
