The Cabinet examined the challenge posed by illegal dumping, made manifest especially following heavy downpours and the movement of the debris in rising and swiftly moving runoff.
Several Cabinet members reported on the clogging of drains which the floating waste created, and the unsightly state which remained when the waters receded.
A decision was taken to increase fines to $40,000.00 for anyone caught in the act. Cabinet appeals to the national pride in residents and citizens, and to truck drivers, to cease and desist from this illegal practice.

I support this move whole heartedly. We must begin to adopt a new attitude towards littering. The recent heavy rains highlighted some of the problems that we face with the amount of indiscriminate littering that takes place all over the country. We have seen endless blocked drains, mattresses and stoves, chairs and sofas being hurled downstream by flood waters. People who continue to litter must face the full brunt of the law.
