How can you start business with violations? If the stall next to you is dirty, it makes the entire place dirty.

[@yagga8885]

Where are you getting that from? The issue is the inspectors are not communicating with them, so even if something needs to be corrected, how would they know if they have already made corrections since the violations were issued? Wow!

[@waldensmith4796]

Wishing the TVJ Broadcast personnel A blessed weekend. Keep up the good work at TVJ.

[@ymccormack9613]

Kmt...Fix the unsanitary place..Money is not all😮

[@yagga8885]

Did you miss the part that they corrected the violations? Communication is key. If the inspectors don’t find the corrections satisfactory, they need to speak up. The inspectors are completely unprofessional and inconsiderate. Only ppl who don’t work or have other means of support wouldn’t understand the vendors outrage

Cleanliness is NEVER an option, we are always just poor victims. Jamaicans prefer block roads before even wash dem hand

[@reubenbrown6452]

People people this is not a political issue it is people problem , they are the ones that created this situation,if they were responsible citizens they wouldn't have to be told that they are to keep their surroundings clean. I have gone to a number of public places in the past and have not gone back,even the fruit venders too are falling short ,in that they are selling things that are not edible.We All are dependent on each other for our survival ,let us behave like Adults

[@TalkStraight-or4uu]

Jamaicans used to.pride themselves on being clean and honest people. Nowadays, criminality and nastiness rule in Jamaica. EVEN THE LARGE FAST FOOD ESTABLISHMENTS!

[@waldensmith4796]

The market needs to be upgraded with repairs. The authorities need to release the necessary funding to accomodate all repaurs to the market. The Vendors need a good market environment to sell their food produce and other items in much need by the customers.

[@GanGztaGriZZle9684]

[@Karen-hu5kr]

There us a restaurant in Cross Roads called " LITTLE TOKYO ",Omg it is very sickening, the outside windows covered in dirt you can barely see inside. The door and the windows need a power wash inside is not clean. What I'm saying what good for the goose, good fi d gander. Big people need to know cleansiness. It is heart wrenching to see the nastiness we the public are consuming. The health inspectors are very biased on the other hand, they are quick to lock down the small man (black man) and the big name brand restaurants are so dirty and inhumane and they are not ordering them to be closed. Same as how Boston jerk center lock down because of nastiness lock down the kfc to with the big rat, lock down burger King with the roaches and also little Tokyo with their dirty food also. We are too double standard

JUNCTION, South ST Elizabeth the fastest and cleanest growing town in JA, is welcoming all business investors to come down and join the MEGA block.

[@progamerdude712]

Mayor Mr Donavon Mitchell and MP Miss Rhowda Crawford who is the hardest working MP in JA. The Mandeville Market is in a dying state of crisis. No proper bathroom, no roofing and no water supply. It has been taken over by garbage, rats, roaches and magots. The Parish Counsel has not been doing no daily sanitizing and no maintainance to its infrastructure. Shoppers are scared to go in because of unsafe hygiene practise. Mr Mitchell the market iis a shame and disgrace to you and the Parish.

[@yagga8885]

It doesn’t take two months to say whether they have met the health and safety standards. Seriously, inspectors are slow and/or incompetent. You need to communicate with the ppl one way or the other. Can’t have them making revisions for two months and you still can’t say if the standards are met.

[@waldensmith4796]

I encouraged the Authorities to accelerate the process to reopen the centre for the Vendors. This is the daily bread of the Vendors working hard to make a living. The Public Health Officials need to navigate the process to accomodate the Vendors to reopen their business to serve the community. Keep up the good work at TV Jamaica.
