Call for Govt to keep close eye on service providers

Social Share The matter of fees being charged by some financial institutions for services was in the spotlight on Wednesday as an Independent and a Government senator called for strict regulation of service providers, when the Senate debated the  National Payments Systems Bill 2021. The bill sets out the framework for the establishment of non-traditional systems of payment for business transactions and makes provision for oversight and regulation by the Central Bank and a National Payments Council which is to be established. Independent senator Lindell Nurse and Government senator Rawdon Adams were of the view that fee monitoring and control should be an important aspect of the regulator’s role.

Greenidge: Squatters should be made to pay

Social Share Squatters knew the risk they were taking when they set up at Rock Hall, St Philip, and they should pay the price, said Senator Rudolph “Cappy” Greenidge on Wednesday. As the Senate debated a resolution to compulsorily acquire land in the area, a former landfill, Greenidge said while he sympathised with those in the illegal settlement, they were doing wrong and since Government has found a spot for them they should pay to move their structures. Some of the squatters are to be moved a short distance away to Gemswick. “Quite frankly, if you have a wall structure on the property, I think that is your problem. You may have to walk away and leave it, that is a big risk that you took on yourself when you built that wall structure without permission. You took a risk and you fell into your own trap that is about as blunt as you can be.
