KINGSTON, Jamaica – Ukusukela ngolweSihlanu we-18 kaJulayi, 2014 ukusebenza koBuchule baManzi abucala (PWCs) kuya kuvulwa kwakhona kwisiqithi sonke kusenzelwa abasebenzisi be-PWC abanelayisensi. Oku emva kokuba ukuvalwa kwesiqithi ngokubanzi kubekwe ngoFebruwari ukuvumela ukulungelelaniswa kwemisebenzi yorhwebo; kunye namanyathelo aza kuthathwa liGunyabantu laseLwandle laseJamaica (MAJ) ukubhalisa zonke ii-PWC okanye ii-jet-skis esiqithini.
Isithintelo ngokubanzi sasiphakathi kwamanyathelo abhengezwe ukulungelelanisa imisebenzi yabucala kunye neyorhwebo ye-PWC. La manyathelo asetyenziswe emva kweengozi ezintathu ezibandakanya ii-PWC phakathi kuka-Agasti 2013 kunye noJanuwari wama-2014. UGqr. Wykeham McNeill wayebonise ukuba ukumiswa kwemisebenzi kuya kuphakanyiswa kwindawo nganye njengoko amanyathelo afanelekileyo kunye nemimiselo iphunyezwa kwaye abantu bathobela.
Kwezi nyanga zimbalwa zidlulileyo i-MAJ iye yakhokela inkqubo yokubhalisa zonke ii-PWCs kwisiqithi sonke. Ukuza kuthi ga ngoku, iinqanawa ezingama-90 zabucala kunye nezingama-29 zorhwebo sele zibhalisiwe.
Iqela eliSebenzayo lasekwa njengelinye lamanyathelo okuzisa umsebenzi wePWC phantsi kolawulo olomeleleyo nokunyanzeliswa. I-PWC Task Force ikhokelwa yi-MAJ kunye neNkampani yoPhuhliso lweeMveliso zoKhenketho (TPDCo), ngokunyanzeliswa liCandelo lamaPolisa aseLwandle.
Isibhengezo sokuvula kwakhona ukusebenza kwee-PWC zabucala senziwe emva kwentlanganiso yakutshanje yeqela elisebenzayo. Eli nyathelo lilandela ukuvulwa okutsha nje kokusebenza kwee-PWC zorhwebo kunxweme lwe-UDC e-Ocho Rios Bay, e-St. Ann ngomhla we-2 Juni, 2014. Nangona kunjalo ukuvalwa kokungeniswa kwee-PWCs kuya kuhlala kukho kude kube kuphinde kunikwe esinye isaziso.
Umphathiswa uMcNeill uthe "ngokukhokelwa sisindululo soMbutho wokuSebenza, kwamiselwa ukuba ukunqunyanyiswa kwemisebenzi yabucala ye-PWC kubasebenzisi abanelayisensi ye-PWC kufuneka kuphakanyiswe ngoku, njengoko kubekiwe amanyathelo afanelekileyo kunye nemimiselo." Wongeze ukuba "abanini kunye nabaqhubi beendawo zabucala kunye nezorhwebo baya kufuneka ukuba bazise i-MAJ yezi ndawo ukwenza lula ukubekwa esweni kwemisebenzi kwisiqithi sonke."
Isiza sophehlelelo sibhekisa kwindawo ekumphambili wonxweme (umjelo ophakathi kwama-20 nama-40 eemitha ububanzi) apho ii-PWC zivumelekileyo ukuba zihambe zibuye. Ii-PWC ziya kuphehlelelwa kwiindawo ezinjalo ngokuhambelana nezikhokelo ezithile kunye nezindululo ezibandakanya - ubukho bendawo ethambekileyo okanye enye indawo efanelekileyo yokuqaliswa ngokukhuselekileyo kwe-PWC kunye nokubekwa kweempawu ezimiselweyo.
Iziza zophehlelelo aziyi kusekwa kufutshane neendawo ezisemngciphekweni omkhulu njengeendawo apho amalungu oluntu aqubha khona ngokwesiko. Oku kuquka iBlue Lagoon (ePortland), iilwandle ezinelayisenisi, iindawo zokuhlambela zoluntu eziquka eNegril, eMontego Bay naseHellshire Beach, apho imisebenzi ye-PWC iya kuthintelwa.
UMphathiswa wachaza ukuba "ukusebenza kwe-PWC yabucala kuya kuvunyelwa e-Lime Cay naseMaiden Cay, apho kuya kufakwa amanyathelo okwethutyana ukuze kuququzelelwe umsebenzi we-PWC, ngelixa ezinye iinkxalabo eziseleyo ezibandakanya imiba enxulumene nokuqaliswa kweendawo ziqwalaselwa."
Ekubhaliseni, abaqhubi bePWC banikwa izatifikethi zobhaliso kunye nedecals ezibonelelwe ngemibala emibini yeekhowudi, ukwahlula phakathi kobugcisa babucala kunye norhwebo.
Ukusetyenziswa kwePWC yabucala kuya kuvunyelwa phantsi kwezi meko zilandelayo:
a. Ii-PWC kufuneka zibhaliswe kwaye zibe nedecals ezifanelekileyo zincanyathiselwe (ii-PWC ezingenazo iidecals zabucala ziya kuba noxanduva lokuvalelwa ngabasemagunyeni)
b. Ii-PWC ezibhaliselwe usetyenziso lwabucala azinakusetyenziselwa urhwebo
c. Bonke abaqhubi beePWCs kufuneka babe bafumene uqeqesho ekusebenzeni komkhumbi kwi-MAJ
d. Ii-PWC's kufuneka zinikwe izatifikethi zokhuseleko kwiinqanawa ezincinci ezisebenzayo eziza kubonisa oku kulandelayo:
Ii-PWCs zivumelekile ukuba zisebenze ngeeyure zasemini kuphela kwaye aziyi kusebenza phakathi kokutshona kwelanga nokuphuma kwelanga
· Ii-PWC kufuneka zingene kwaye zilushiye unxweme ngesantya esicothayo samaqhina ama-3
· Abahlali beePWCs kufuneka banxibe iivesti zobomi ngamaxesha onke kwaye indawo yokusebenza mayibe yi-200m ubuncinane ukusuka elunxwemeni.
e. Ii-PWC akufuneki zigalelwe amafutha elwandle
f. Ii-PWCs kufuneka ziqwalasele imigaqo yongquzulwano (elwandle).
UMphathiswa uMcNeill ukwabonise ukuba amanyathelo ayathathwa ukuququzelela ukuvulwa kwakhona kwemisebenzi ye-PWC kwezinye iindawo ezibandakanya i-Negril, wongeza ukuba njengoko iqela elisebenzayo liqhubela phambili ukulungisa imisebenzi kule mimandla, uthethwano luya kubanjwa kunye nabachaphazelekayo abachaphazelekayo kuquka intlanganiso izakubanjelwa eNegril kwiveki ezayo.
