CABINET NOTES:<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

The Cabinet invited the new Chairman of the National Solid Waste Management Authority (NSWMA) and the Acting Manager to report on the successes and failures of the statutory body, especially so the failure to collect garbage from several rural communities.<\/p>\n

It was explained that the number of NSWMA trucks has been reduced to three working compactor trucks from a total of eight.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>
\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

However, the mechanics were able to cannibalize the non-working trucks and to put two additional trucks back on the road.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

The two officials from NSWMA also explained that there are operators\/owners of trucks that were over-represented; their numbers are being brought in line to fit the norm.<\/p>\n

The officials were empowered by Cabinet to begin the process of reducing the number of trucks by which several owners\/operators exceed the reasonable number.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

Small and individual truck owners will then be able to receive reasonable payments each week.<\/p>\n
