The Opposition People's National Party is calling on the Office of the Prime Minister to break its silence on the issue of the sand stolen from the beach in Trelawny. The sand went missing in early July, three months ago, from a site that was the proposed location of a major investment by Felicitas Ltd.

In August, a month later the country was informed that a report had gone to Cabinet and was being forwarded to the police. However since then there has been a deafening silence on the matter.

Opposition Spokesman on Tourism, Dr. Wykeham McNeill questioned "How could 500 truckloads of sand be stolen, transported and sold, and after three months the country still does not have a definitive report as to what happened."

Dr. McNeill warns that this continuing silence could lead to speculation of a cover up.

The Opposition is therefore calling on the Government to move swiftly and give the nation an update as to developments with regard to this matter.
