Dear Editor,
I would like to express my disgust with how the authorities are handling the noxious fumes in the vicinity of the Central Sorting Office.
Why are people passing out day in and day out after the authorities have declared the area safe? Is it that they have made a guess and in order to confirm their guess they've decided to use human guinea pigs? This is outrageous.
I would have thought that further to the occurrence last June at the Portmore toll booth, proper measures would have been put in place to detect, contain and remedy these situations. However, this is not the case. So far, the authorities are clueless as to the origin and nature of the fumes, and whether or not they are harmful to human life.
We want to know what risk we take, we the people who work at the CSO and we the people who visit the CSO.
The Government serves the people. This is the sole purpose of Government and this kind of sloppy behaviour should not be tolerated.
I commend the staff at the CSO, who apparently risk their lives to ensure the timely delivery of mail. I for one would not be entering that building tomorrow. Perhaps the next time we decide to test the toxicity of the building and environs, we should send the good minister down there for a day.
