#JamaicaGleaner #JPS #Theft OCTOBER 7, 2021: Paying customers who allege that the Jamaica Public Service Company (JPS) turns off electricity, sometimes for the entire day, as part of measures to combat electricity theft could be on firm footing should they decide to file a class-action suit against the power company, one attorney believes. Several residents of western and southeastern St Andrew have, in recent days, complained that since June, the JPS has been disrupting their electricity supply, for hours at a time, even days, despite their accounts not falling into arrears.
