AMID repeated calls from the opposition for her to reveal the number of taxi plates that have been issued since assuming office, Transport Minister JoBeth Coleby-Davis did not confirm the total number while answering questions on the issue in the House of Assembly yesterday. She said it would be improper for her to do so as the process had not yet been completed.

Mrs Coleby-Davis, who is also the minister of housing, addressed the controversial issue of taxi plates and other matters related to her ministry while answering questions put to her by the opposition in the morning sitting of yesterday’s parliamentary meeting. She was one of several government ministers who answered a series of questions from the opposition.
