Here we go again with white collar criminals!! The Jamaican public needs answers immediately from the Port Authority's Board-of-Directors, specifically Noel Hylton, Chairman-of-the-Board, as to why they disregarded government guidelines and approved multi-million dollar payments to senior officers who were not entitled to such outrageous retirement benefits plus gratuity. In addition to gratuity of $31 million, one senior officer on contract received three pensions which includes one valued at $56 million, another for $554,164 U.S. dollars, and a third offered in a lump sum of $120,000 with monthly payments of $34,834. It is unbelievable and an injustice that one man receives three pensions when there are so many retirees from the Port Authority of Jamaica who are barely surviving on the pittance that they are offered for retirement after giving so many years of dedicated service to the government entity. In addition, many workers at the Port Authority now can hardly survive on their monthly salaries. Yes, Mr. Hilton and his board members need to account for why they found it acceptable to shell out multi-millions to 14 senior officers. The board has changed through the years but what has remained consistent is that Noel Hilton, at 80 something years old, continues to hang on to the Chairman position. It is well past time for a new chairman at Port Authority of Jamaica. These white-collar criminals have no conscience, and they need to be arrested!
