WATCH: Simon calls Bolans housing project ‘a complete disaster’ over drainage concerns

Opposition Parliamentarian Kelvin “Shugy” Simon has launched a severe critique against the Bolans housing development, demanding an immediate independent inspection of what he characterizes as a catastrophically flawed project. The Member of Parliament for St. Mary’s South issued a formal statement outlining profound concerns regarding drainage systems, public safety, and the overall planning integrity of the development.

Simon asserted that critical deficiencies were visibly apparent even prior to the handover of keys to prospective homeowners. He described the entire project as plagued by inadequate infrastructure from its inception, creating conditions that compromise both safety and basic livability for future residents.

“The housing development in Bolans represents a complete disaster in public project execution,” Simon declared. “Families deserve residences constructed with meticulous care, professional foresight, and robust infrastructure—not dwellings burdened with impending problems from day one.”

The parliamentarian extended his criticism beyond the specific development to issue a broader challenge to governmental accountability. He emphasized that electoral victory does not constitute a blank check for substandard performance on public works initiatives, characterizing the government’s mandate as a profound responsibility rather than unconditional approval.

Simon’s demands include three specific actions: an immediate independent technical inspection of the entire Bolans development, a comprehensive review of all drainage and infrastructure systems by neutral experts, and a commitment to transparent communication with citizens regarding findings and remedial actions.

Concluding his statement with a powerful appeal, Simon emphasized: “The people of this nation deserve superior standards of public service. The community of Bolans warrants substantially better than what this project has delivered.”
