Natalie Neita Garvey, the Shadow Minister of Local Government and Participatory Democracy, has proposed the establishment of a Smart Municipal Jamaica Initiative. This proposal aims to digitalize municipal corporations across the country.
The initiative intends to transform these corporations into citizen-centric institutions. Neita Garvey suggested that this digitalization would allow citizens to apply for permits, licenses, and approvals online, track their applications in real-time, and receive predictable timelines.
This move is expected to streamline services, making them more accessible and transparent for the public. The proposal emphasizes the importance of modernizing local government operations.
