The legal dispute between Errol Greene and the board of the National Solid Waste Management Authority (NSWMA) has been finally resolved.

At the same time, Greene, the former executive director of the NSWMA, has expressed a desire to return to his position as town clerk at the Kingston and St Andrew Corporation (KSAC).

In a statement in the press on Sunday, the NSWMA said it had reached a mutual agreement with Greene to terminate their contractual relationship. Greene fell out of grace with the NSWMA board following the discovery of contractual irregularities.

“The authority and Mr Greene regard it as being best in the public interest.,” said the NSWMA statement. “The terms arrived at for an amicable settlement of the dispute are to the satisfaction of both parties.”

The authority expressed gratitude to Greene for his dedicated service and wished him every success for the future.

Yesterday, Greene said he reported to work at the KSAC on September 17, however, he had not started carrying out his regular duties as yet because he is waiting on word from Kingston Mayor Desmond McKenzie.

During Greene’s secondment from the KSAC, Lincoln Evans, the city treasurer, acted as town clerk. Greene said Evans is likely to revert to his original position once Mayor McKenzie gives the go-ahead. Mayor McKenzie could not be reached to comment on the matter up to press time last night.

In 2004, Greene was seconded from the KSAC to the Kingston City Centre Improvement Company (KCCIC), a joint private and public sector non-profit company that was launched by then Prime Minister PJ Patterson.

A year later, he was transferred from the KCCIC to the NSWMA.

Yesterday, Greene told the Observer that he was looking forward to resuming his job at the KSAC.

“I am not aware of any problems… I have no difficulty,” he said. “I had a very good relationship with both the political directorate and the staff before I left, so I can’t see any difficulty at all.”
