KINGSTON, Jamaica— The Accountant General’s Department (AGD) is advising the public that there may be delays in contacting its office and receiving in-person services on Friday due to a disruption in the agency’s electrical services.
The advisory follows an incident on Thursday which resulted in a loss of power after a transformer blew, causing a fire just outside the premises of the AGD’s New Kingston office.
There were no reports of injuries, and all workers were accounted for after they evacuated the building.
