Upcoming improvements to Supreme Court
KINGSTON, Jamaica —The Judiciary of Jamaica says it will be conducting a comprehensive fumigation of the Supreme Court building during the term break which commences on Friday, August 2, 2024.
The fumigation is part of an emergency procurement process to address the pest infestation and ensure a healthier environment for its staff and all who visit the court.
The update was provided in a release from the Judiciary of Jamaica on Friday following recent media reports concerning the working conditions at that court, particularly the lack of air conditioning and pest infestation issues.
The judiciary noted that it takes these reports seriously and is committed to ensuring a safe and comfortable working environment for its staff.
As such, it noted that it is currently awaiting the necessary public procurement verification (PPV) for the installation of new air conditioning units at the Supreme Court which will be completed as a matter of priority.
“We appreciate the patience and understanding of our staff and the public during this period of transition. The health and well-being of our employees are of utmost importance, and we are committed to resolving these issues promptly,” the judiciary said.
