KINGSTON, Jamaica—After a boisterous display, John Myers, the Jamaica Labour Party’s (JLP) councillor for the Lawrence Tavern Division, walked out of a sitting of the Kingston and St Andrew Municipal Corporation (KSAMC) on Tuesday, accusing People’s National Party (PNP) councillors of playing politics by repeating claims of excess coliforms found in piped water.
Myers walked out as PNP councillor for the Trafalgar Division, Jesse James Clarke moved a resolution recommending that water which does not adhere to the recommended microbiology or chemical standards should not be supplied to any customer due to the significant health risk they would be exposed to.
“For over 22 years, you never know seh water is life? Now you coming to bring a resolution to embarrass the government,” Myers yelled, as he barged out of the Marcus Garvey Council Chambers.
