An appeal has been made to authorities to impose harsher punishments on illegal dumpers.National Communications Director for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, Kathie Daniel, made the call on Monday during a ceremony to unveil a bench at the bus stop outside the Maurice Byer Polyclinic to commemorate her team of Clean Up Barbados 2022 volunteers’ removal of 66 150 pounds of illegally discarded materials.She said illegal dumping in Barbados was now beyond ridiculous, as she called for stiffer sentences to be imposed on offenders.“I would like to see people punished for doing this nonsense. There is no excuse… it’s just laziness, ignorance, and the kind of thing that makes me want to do like Jesus in the temple and break furniture and pelt blows,” Daniel said.“I get very passionate about this because I am not going to go into your house and leave my trash all over the place, so why do we do it out in public? It’s our island, it’s our home.”
