KINGSTON, Jamaica — Member of Parliament for St Andrew South Eastern, Julian Robinson, is calling for the urgent intervention of Minister of National Security Robert Montague to prevent the closure of the New Kingston Police Post.

Robinson, issued a statement this morning saying: “The owners of the premises where the post is located served notice on the Ministry of National Security from last year that they needed the premises by September 30, 2017. To date, there has been no response from the ministry and the lease expires today (Saturday)”.

Robinson, who is also general secretary of the People’s National Party (PNP), noted that stakeholders in the New Kingston area are willing to identify an alternative location to prevent closure of the post, which provides service to the multiple businesses and residents in the area.

“It is critical that Minister Montague intervenes now and has dialogue with the owners to find a solution to the impending closure” Robinson asserted.
