Equipment malfunctions that recently stalled operations at the Campden Park Container Port, and other problems that plague the facility will be discussed by the Cabinet of Ministers.
A decision will then be made which may see changes in the leadership of the St Vincent and the Grenadines Port Authority (SVGPA).
Prime Minister Dr Ralph Gonsalves made this clear while speaking Tuesday morning on the AM Mayhem radio show of Hot 97.1.
“It is entirely unacceptable for important pieces of equipment not to be maintained.
“I have a way of following an old injunction from the folk, ‘take time to run fast’. Watch me running fast,” Gonsalves said in response to a question about heads rolling at the management level of the SVGPA.
