Local Government Minister Desmond McKenzie has praised mayor of Kingston and St Andrew, Delroy Williams, for addressing the needs of the homeless and indigent following the launch of a soup kitchen.
According to McKenzie, Jamaicans should focus on positivity, as he pointed out that Kingston and St Andrew Municipal Corporation (KSAMC) has made a sincere commitment to address the plight of persons living on the streets, by creating a temporary shelter at the same location of the soup kitchen, on Church Street, a short distance from the KSAMC.

Mayor of St Ann’s Bay Sydney Stewart.
Grand Market activities on December 24 will be greatly reduced in the major towns in St Ann, namely, St Ann’s Bay, Ocho Rios and Brown’s Town, in order to minimise the spread of the dreaded COVID-19 disease.
Addressing the monthly general meeting of the St Ann Municipal Corporation in St Ann’s Bay on Thursday, Mayor Sydney Stewart said traffic would be diverted on Christmas Eve to allow shopping as usual in these towns, but only from 2 p.m. to 9 p.m.
This would leave persons with one hour to get home before the curfew hours, which start at 10 p.m. and run until 5 a.m.
