Azan wants answers on Marcus Garvey Drive, Sour Sop Turn projects

KINGSTON, Jamaica — Opposition Spokesman on works, Richard Azan, is calling on the Government to answer questions regarding two major road projects taking place on Marcus Garvey Drive in Kingston, and the Sour Sop Turn to Chapleton in Clarendon.

Azan, in a release from the People’s National Party (PNP) this afternoon, said the project manager for the Marcus Garvey Drive project must indicate if there are other project items paid for previously that is now being implemented. 

According to Azan, the contractors must advise whether in the event of heavy rainfall, flooding is likely along the rehabilitated section of Marcus Garvey Drive. He is also raising questions about whether storm water drains, kerbs and inlets are now being installed on the popular thoroughfare.

Meanwhile, Azan, who is Member of Parliament (MP) for North West Clarendon, says the 11.5 kilometres Sour Sop Turn to Chapleton project is now 12 months past the scheduled completion date, and is calling on the Government to divulge the due date for completion, the additional cost to taxpayers and whether the project is being reconfigured to facilitate the problems being faced by the contractor.
