PNP Candidate for St Andrew Eastern, Venesha Phillips, says she’s not confident the Zone of Special Operations, ZOSO, will address the crime challenges in August Town.
The community has been plagued with violence for years, despite several social intervention measures aimed at addressing the scourge.
Ms. Phillips and the incumbent and JLP candidate for the constituency, Fayval Williams, were guests last evening on Nationwide’s Special Constituency Debates feature.
Ms Phillips says the crime fighting measures in August Town have never been sustainable.
During the debate, she also admitted to knowing a criminal, with whom she occasionally exchanges warm greetings.

Ms Phillips says she has also assisted the Police with intelligence.
And, the PNP Candidate for St. Andrew Eastern says the August Town ZOSO may very well fail.
In the meantime, Mrs Williams says she has confidence in the efficiency of the enhanced security measure.
And, she says residents also have a role to play in community building.
