President and CEO of the Jamaica Public Service Company, JPS, Kelly Tomblin, has come out strongly against what she says is the government’s tendency to not pay its electricity bill.

Speaking at an American Chamber of Commerce of Jamaica, AMCHAM, forum last Friday, Ms. Tomblin said like the government, JPS has to meet its own financial obligations.

Ms Tomblin says JPS intends to become more aggressive in collecting from the government.

The JPS CEO says there needs to be a change in the culture regarding the payment for utility services.
