KRYSTLE CLEAR: Questions for SSA

Article by KRYSTLE HOWELL 

Many Barbadians read with cautious excitement the news that there were twelve more Sanitation Service Authority (SSA) trucks on the way to Barbados, by latest October. We are now used to the fact that delays, whether justifiable or otherwise, have become a real and at times understandable possibility.

However, this should be a time to examine how we got to this point where the trucks on island were not sufficient to meet our needs. It is quite easy, but ultimately useless, to blame the last administration for our current state of affairs.

A deeper examination is required to ensure that sectors in the public service that are not profit driven due to their larger mandate to fulfill a societal need are operating at maximum efficiency to minimise losses and wastage.
