Mayor lights up Jamaica Public Service (JPS) - Power company tackled for giving meters to 'squatters' on Hellshire Beach
Portmore Mayor Keith Hinds has given the Jamaica Public Service (JPS) a black eye for providing electricity, along with meters, to persons he says are squatting on the Hellshire Half Moon Bay Beach in the municipality."There is a problem with squatting on the beach. I am also absolutely disappointed with an agency called the Jamaica Public Service that has, in fact, gone ahead and put in meters to squatters on the beach,"
A livid Hinds argued that the light and power company's appetite for collecting revenue should not override the illegality of squatting.
