The National Emergency Management Organization (NEMO) has faced accusations of mattress hoarding.
These accusations came following a visit by the Governor General Her Excellency Dame Susan Dougan to the NEMO Warehouse at Campden Park yesterday. During her visit, photographs of mattresses being stored at the warehouse were taken and disseminated by local media who had accompanied Her Excellency on her tour of the facility.
NEMO in an official release has denied these allegations.
“The mattresses seen in the photos being circulated with the Governor General in the background were received late on Saturday, May 1 and are single mattresses which are being distributed upon request.” The release said.
According to NEMO’s release, over 1500 mattress have been delivered to the 86 shelters across the country so far. According to NEMO’s release, in the past few days 550 mattresses have been delivered to families.
