Henry Commissions MLSS Branded Buses
Minister of Labour & Social Security, Lester “Mike” Henry, today, commissioned two (2) new Toyota Coaster buses, retrofitted as mobile units to enhanced delivery of services to Jamaican citizens especially deep rural areas.
In a brief ceremony held at the Ministry’s North Street location in Kingston, Minister Henry, said that the satisfaction of the citizens served by his Ministry is imperative and is at the heart of his priorities as Minister at this time.
The initiative was announced by former Minister of Labour & Social Security, Shahine Robinson in her Budget presentation last year, July 9th. According to Minister Henry, his leadership must reflect the continuation of her dream to deliver all the essential services offered remotely, to citizens located in rural Jamaica.
The units valued at a cost of JMD$25,500,000.00 million are equipped with state of the art features that simulate the office environment of the Ministry. These include:
· Four (4) mini office space for interviews
· 1 refrigerator
· 1 Television
· A number system
· 1 fully functional Public Address System
· An Inverter System (Electrical Power Supply) to be able to power the units while carrying out its functions
· 1 First Aid Kit
· Fully equipped with Air Conditioned Units
A third bus is currently being retrofitted and will serve as a mobile unit for the Early Stimulation Programme and will be commissioned soon.
