| Seven months after Minister of Works and Transport Neko Grant apologized to the motoring public and promised "not to rest until the job" of fixing all the traffic lights in New Providence is done, the traffic signal system on the country's main island is still not fully functional.

The other company awarded a temporary contract in May — Campbell Electric — has no certification or license to fix traffic signals. |
