Protest in Dover, St. Mary over Lack of Electricity | $13M to Fix Burnt Out Bridge in St. James 

JPS has always tried its best restore light when there is a power outage. This is not the only community suffering. Be patient

Before you guys pray a next hurricane no come you ppl a demonstrate, the workers are human to some of you guys over reacting

Are you for real? JPS is working 24/7s and it not even a month yet since. Did jps cause the hurricane? Come on ppl. Be thankful for life and gwaan hold the peace. I've experienced hurricane and all 4 months after there is no electricity in Portland. Unuh fi glad unuh have house still look at the ppl in st.vincent. Do better ppl!

The JPS is doing their best. Calm down people, and have some patience.

You are not the only ones,you should be more considerate. I'm hoping you will not be late paying your bill.

People please be patient it all can't happen at once,went through Gilbert 2 months without light the hurricane was out of the hands of man hang in there.

Not you alone Port Maria and many more places doesn't have light and they just have wait there turn

Wow ,we should be giving thanks that we have life,remember jps workers are humans beings, we are bless people, I saw the other places it destroyed they not behaving like some of us.

I hope you all are paying light bill

St Elizabeth have no light either. We waiting patiently dezpite the discomfort.

Most of them protesting don't pay light bill anyway 😂😂😂😂

Alot of people don't pay bills and destroying the road and then want it fixed after, are you guys the only ones without light and waiting, like we not waiting too

People please realise you had a cat 4 hurricane. Give the JPS workers more time to do the work properly. There are many areas they need to get to not just 1

Kmt cant please them ungrateful people

JPS - Jamaican People's Stress Fi real😂😂😂

Some of these people sick stomach

The JPS back log must be massive probably their teams havent worked this hard since Lisa in 2022

You all know when storm.coming uno not to stock up fridge, i never born and see jps light a lamp

A no JPS make the hurricane come, pray and hope a next hurricane no come soon, we too wicked God a show we sa him still in control, the man them a work pray for them.

How about preparing yourselves before there is even a hurricane by having lamps, flashlight, coal and other things in place before it happens. It's like nobody knows how to manage in Jamaica without electricity anymore even though plenty of us grew up without it.....come on people do better and be more prepared.

None maintenance has caused a lot of these damages to light poles, in the housing scheme where I live, I was shocked one morning on one of my morning exercises (first time paasing that area) to see two wooden electrical poles tilted, I was scared to passed, didnt take my eyes off them until i cleared tht area Hence the reason I came to the conclusion that some of these poles were accidents just waiting to happen

these people are sickening, all for themselves. my family just got back light. it cant happen all at once

What's wrong with these ridiculous people. Don't they know there was a hurricane and that a lot of people dont have lights so it's going to take some time.

What happens to the Troy bridge those people have been neglected for over 2to 3yrs children spoke out Minister of Works we❤ our children answer their call😂😂👍👍👍

JPS I don't get like yet but thank you all for working tirelessly to restore the light, many of you working don't even have light at home ...what an ungrateful set of people those... Gilbert is months before the light was restored and we even got foreign help .

I understand person's frustration, but let us all remember that the workers at Jps are human Just like everyone, don't get me wrong but most businesses I Jamaica is short staff to be honest if i'm working g somewhere that's short staff I wouldn't over work myself trust mi it doesn't worth it after you get sick over anybody's Job they don't care they will only pushed you aside forget about you and your family and take onn new staff which they already have on standby trust mì

Lucky you live to protest 😢

Mark golding have crystal ball that liar

Home sweet home no candles

Just fixed the dam bridge for the people, it doesn’t matter how much it is going to cost , people are paying taxes in Jamaica.🙄

This news segment was filled with so much passa passa that I ran out popcorn 🍿 The opening interview with those 2 young women great. They were raw. They were authentic. Fun and jokes aside, I pray for relief and restoration in every areas that has been negatively affected by big and sour Beryl.

IC told The British man. Need to be put iut of the Parliament!😮

No light, no water,, what are we going to do about it lord,,it looking very badly,,

They are very ungrateful and full of evil they should be thankful they are still alive my family still dont get light

Dem people ya nu thank full fe life cook out de meat an give way dem nu memba gilbert a7 month be fore we get light in a bay just patience ooo❤❤❤❤

Lord i thank you for saving your ppl lifes give us strength to cope

Jamaica systems is too slow 😂😂no light no scamming 😂😂

I am putting all my effort into eventually coming off the grid. Too vulnerable.

Those people are crazy, disaster what u expect... smh

So wait the storm no juss pass

For all those who survived its a hard lesson about certain dependencies... Help each other cook all foods that could go bad feed folks that don't have ... It's time for lamps either electric or nonflammable lamp oil not kerosene....

Smh ppl trying to help but make things worse sorry o

Jamaican people we all need to invest in Solar energy...... We poor people need a affordable package

Ground god get Pringle...

Issue them with camping lanterns all you need is batteries it's like Solar. There are camping torches Jamaica issue lanterns.

These people need more enlightenment. In Texas is over a week and people haven’t got back electricity.

JPS bring hurricane sad thank God for life

Na mess wit St.Mary people! Not easy ! ( pure patois) I once resided st Mary. 🇯🇲

99% of who making noise for lright and water us who not paying light bill...we waited longer during ivan not to mention Gilbert we jamaicans have such short memories

Really people you don’t understand nothing Jps can’t be everywhere some of you should be in Tears and you all would know something

We can all see that this bridge was not constructed properly from foundation. One little storm and bridge broke down.

😂😂😂😂grungy nuh eazy

Thanks for sharing ❤🙏🏽

O my give jps some time to do there works...i kno its hard to function without the electricity but we just ofto b patient.. i live in linstead n i do not get back any light as yet

They should be giving some kind of battery operated lights or solor lights and food for free to help the people while people are wanting fix springfield saint Elizabeth who ever running the country is mad why don't they infest in solor lights as well stop being stingy with the jamaican people looks bad to neglect the people during a major emergency condition of hurricane.

The phrase “ would have” has lost its meaning

It is very rough on so many to wait on power.

They tried to say this hurricane wasn't so bad it was very very bad and JPS alone cannot do it they need the support of the Jamaican government which would be the military why do we have a military it is for times of disaster and crisis.

Ground god behave yuh self mi watch yuh everyday. Just be patient light soon come mi girl big up Tarzan.

I think plastic tubing that you’re using for the bridge , why can’t you use concrete instead . I think that would be more durable and efficient. It might be more expensive but in the long run it’s more lasting.

A 79 year old man in Nutfield Islington St Mary has been without water since November. Now the hurricane has come,that's seems like a dead deal. Numerous emails have been set to the NWC and still Noone has gone to the premises to deal with this situation. Now he is without both light and water. Evey month he is being sent a bill which has been paid,and some months the bill has been higher than others. This system is a slavish and oppressive system.

So Troy is not a emergency?

Really! Dover people want miracle

Praying for jamaica 🇯🇲 🙏prayer up for ONELOVE Jamaica 🇯🇲 🙏 🙌🏻 ❤️ 😢 😪 🇯🇲 swiftly💯 💸 💵 💲 🤑 💰 💱 💷

Let me tell Jamaican this law-abiding citizens dont protest and block road them wrote letters if petition to who it may concern

I love their logic. Block the road so the people who need to reconnect the lights can get in 👍

I wish the media would stop reporting negative news.

The worse thing, don't be surprised if your bills are higher for this period. JPS is allowed to charge or recuperate for any lost. Sad how the government doesn't care about Jamaican people. What about what the citizen losses?

So when the burning tyres damage the asphalt and destroy the roads, is those same people gonna complain about all the potholes then bawl seh dem need good roads.

Put the candles 🕯️ in water 💦 to prevent fire 🔥

Watching from portmore

So how the person know they under investigated it they not told

The man said earlier they didn't expect what happen.

JPS is really working hard to restore electricity, my God people have some patience.

What!! Ground god new house have no electricity!!! 😂

Critical question how will this protest help?

They are behaving as if they are the only one's in Jamaica who don't have light.

So now you see that darkness is not good ,the light of the world is Jesus, when you get back the light give your life to Jesus today

I hate to tell the people from Hill Run that they will always be getting the flood water from Spanish Town, because that's where the land naturally slopes to. Better drainage is definitely needed though but our representatives lack the will

1:52 the residence in the district of bonnett, Guys Hill and all the surrounding communities of Northeast Saint Catherine are also suffering from power outage and also a lot of these persons are poultry farmers

When you are in opposition, we always make big talk

Hopefully power will be restored soon!

Why put things into the refrigerator knowing that there is no electricity. Come on my people JPS workers need lights too. Some places in ocho rios just getting lights.

this might be great for the JLP as people without a home cant vote against them

Truth hurt sin sin

Are they going to blame the government for this as well?

The JPS needs to work faster people are desperate. My community Cocoa Walk, CrossKeys in Manchester is forgotten - no report from anybody. It is a shame - dam shame. Come on Mr prime Minister and area council. This hurricane will be in the people's heart when you seek any election again . Do something, please!!

Look how much st Elizabeth people mash up an we dnt complane it is the good lord work stop complaine an wait

Not blaming the government about restoring Power but Government must take this to consideration this is a long time waiting we need a next power service in Jamaican lower class people are suffering they pay the same money weather they used the current are they don't used it, it's a crying shame

People have to be patient on restoration after a natural disaster, have to be thankful so many lives were spared. Beryl, caused damages to Texas and people here has to be patient for the power company to restore services.

Well remove the gagg order then to stop the accusations.

They are all in their wrong calling

I grew to age nine without electricity the BERRIC battery for the radio only.. They need to understand those light bills money needed for moments like NOW.

The damage bridge, asphalts so thin , where did the money go

Mi understand, we are suffering in St Elizabeth

Where was he? Charles Sinclair

You think the light man them not working who paying for light

Was HILL RUN a planned living area or just pop up because in JAMAICA everyone is a DEVELOPER/ BUILDER.

My people classic!!! Suh if yuh block the road how di JPS truck supposed to pass through!!!😂😂😂😂

I got my light two days ago
