The Chairman of National Solid Waste Management Authority James Tanny Rose has made an appeal for an immediate disbursement of EC$ 400 thousand to meet outstanding payments to workers.<\/p>

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

Speaking on ZDK Radio Rose appealed to Prime Minister Gaston Browne and Environment Minister Molwyn Joseph to \u201cgive me 400 thousand dollars.\u201d<\/p>\n

He said that amount will help solid waste make outstanding payments to truck drivers and grass cutters as well as to make current payments.<\/p>

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

Drivers are owed 9-14 weeks of payment while grass cutter 3-4 weeks according to Rose.<\/p>

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

He says the beautification project suffers a short fall of $ 90 thousand every week because the monies allocated to it is not enough.<\/p>\n

The chairman said he made a presentation to two ministers yesterday but the amount they approved was not enough to meet the outstanding payments.<\/p>

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

\u201cI want the workers and them to continue bear with me,\u201d Rose said after they reportedly called for his resignation.<\/p>\n

He said he expects the workers to be paid before the start of carnival.<\/p>

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

Rose called on all members of Parliament to do their part in ensuring that the outstanding sums are paid \u201cbecause the workers are from every constituency.\u201d<\/p>

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

Meantime, Rose said he will refuse to speak to the opposition friendly media group the Observer until they publicly address the high turnover of staff and union issues at the company.<\/p>\n
