Government to pay for damaged Tivoli houses

Permalink

The Government of Jamaica is to spend millions of dollars to repair buildings and other facilities that were damaged during last weeks gun battle in Tivoli Gardens and adjoining Kingston communities.

The security forces had gone into the west Kingston communities to arrest alleged crime lord Christopher Dudus Coke.

Coke who is wanted in the United States on drug and gun charges is to face extradition proceedings here.

Residents of Tivoli Gardens and surrounding communities have claimed that during the operation, several houses were ransacked and damaged by members of the security forces.

Speaking at Gleaner editors forum yesterday, the National Security Minister Dwight Nelson said the Government has noted the concerns.

The government would be compensating the affected west Kingston residents, said Senator Nelson.

The cost of this initiative has not yet been determined, he added.

Senator Nelson says an assessment is being conducted by the Social Development Commission and the Labour ministry.

He was responding to the principal of the Mona campus of the University of the West Indies, Professor Gordon Shirley.
