Local Gov’t Minister has Digicel Rehab Centre on hold – Gordon

By Jeff Trotman

 

Controversy has intensified on the proposed Digicel state-of-the-art Linden children’s rehabilitation centre.

Linden IMC Chairman, Orrin Gordon says the project has been put on hold because Local Government Minister, Norman Whittaker “has indicated that he wants to get on board”.

This injection by the minister is foul, Gordon declared at a press conference on 2nd January, adding that three weeks had passed since the minister’s intervention and that he had not contacted the Linden municipality to discuss a way forward for the project.

“So, as far as I am concerned, they have basically put a project on hold for no solid reason.
