St. Ann Municipal Corporation Office of the Contractor General November 2017
member Mr. Ezekiel Russell in December 2013. Mr.
Ezekiel Russell circulated his recommendation to
Councillor Lydia Richards on December 3, 2013 in
a document entitled ‘Christmas Programme for the
Bensonton Division’.
The proposed Prickly Pole paving project was not
approved by the constituency executive and funds
were never sought from any agency nor allocated
for any such Prickly Pole Paving Project.
Accordingly, there was no paving work done and no
“missing funds” to explain.
The public should be aware that the South East St
Ann Constituency Executive has held over 15
executive meetings since December 2013 and none of
these allegations or any questions on the matter have
ever been raised.”

It further noted,
inter alia
, that:
“Thwaites revoked Vinette Robb-Oddman's appointment
after it emerged that she helped to organise a protest in
Claremont last Friday which included students from the
school…
But the protest drew national attention after the death of 11-
year-old Prickly Pole Primary student Akella Lewis, who
was initially reported as being a part of the protest.
