Cabinet has approved a request from City Hall to pay the city’s debt to private garbage contractors, Minister of State Joseph Harmon announced on Thursday.
Harmon told a post-Cabinet press briefing that the approval has allowed for the Ministry of Finance to reach out to the contractors to make either whole or partial payment.
“The matter required a Cabinet decision which allowed for the Minister of Finance to proceed to negotiate with them and I’m aware the Minister of Finance is now engaged with these parties to make a payment either in whole or in part,” Harmon said.
