Cabinet is concerned with the relative impunity with which public and private property are damaged and destroyed during vehicular accidents. To this end, the administration is now moving to amend the damage to property Act, which would increase fines and penalties for those who are involved in such acts.This is according to Head of the Presidential Secretariat, Dr. Roger Luncheon, during his post-Cabinet media briefing yesterday at the Office of the President.He explained that there was existing legislation for damage to property,Authentic MLB Jerseys Online, but the investment in infrastructure when the original Act was put in place is nothing compared with what is happening today.“The fact is there is much more to damage now and the definition of public property then and now differs significantly. So the Act had to be amended,Wholesale World Cup Jerseys,” Dr. Luncheon said.Dr. Luncheon does not believe that any legislation that prescribes penalties, especially fines that were established 20 30 years ago are of any relevance where today is concerned.“A major part of the interventions here are to make fines and penalties more appropriate,” he said.“If you damage a bridge,China Jerseys Authentic, a telephone or electricity posts,Wholesale NFL Jerseys, and very often cars drive into trenches and damage pipes and cause a lot of discomfort to citizens and incur expenses for the utilities.
