FROM
CUBA
Residents must pay for removal of debris
from Hurricane Rita
SANTA CLARA, Cuba, September 26 (Niurvys
Díaz Remond, Cubanacán Press
/ www.cubanet.org) - Residents in the Raúl
Sancho district of Santa Clara were forced
to buy gasoline for a state-owned truck
for the removal of debris from Hurricane
Rita.
The president of the Committee for the
Defense of the Revolution on Marquito Héctor
Fonseca Street visited all the houses one-by-one
and asked the residents to contribute what
could they since the truck had no fuel.
The cleanup crew had been on duty since
5 a.m. and the truck ran out of gasoline
in the early afternoon.
Residents said they would rather have contributed
to buying lunch for the workmen than gasoline
for the truck since the workers had not
stopped to eat.
Usually the workers assigned to cleanup
are ex-prisoners who don't have jobs.
