Dry taps force Licensing Office closure

Vehicle owners who came to conduct business such as transferring vehicle ownership and renewing driver’s permits met a locked front door. Inniss Edwards, who came from Point Fortin, lamented that he wasted time and money to get to the office which he did not know, was closed for the day.

“Imagine hundreds of people pass through this office on a daily basis and today the doors are shut,” Edwards said, adding that the Minister of Works and Transport Rohan Sinanan should investigate this closure.

Another affected person said it was hard to believe that Licensing Office has no water tanks to store water and ensure a back-up supply when there is no pipeborne water. Licensing officers refused to comment on the situation and stayed put behind the closed doors.
