Citizen Advocate David Comissiong has delivered on his word and filed a law suit challenging the permission given by Prime Minister Freundel Stuart in his capacity as minister with responsibility for Town Planning Department to construct a 15 storey building in Bridgetown.

Here is an ABRIDGED copy of the “Hyatt Application” which was filed at the Registry of the Supreme Court today (22/03/2017). The section entitled “the particulars of the facts and other matters relied upon…” was omitted because these are already well covered in the “Grounds”. An Affidavit was filed in support.

The critical issues are the Grounds on which the permission is being challenged, this is what David Comissiong has shared with the BU family.

    Question is: Hyatt a Cahill 2.0, a plantation where Bajans work as maids, greenkeepers, housekeepers etc? Why do we need a university if the masses are poised to serve?

    Fruendel obviously did not read the island’s laws they are breaking that are associated with his and Cummins reckless and careless actions….a copy of that application should be sent to Hyatt’s corporate headquarters, they are all so dizzy and desperate to deceive the people for election that none of them are paying attention, they are just breaking the laws willy nilly. …

    …..and am sure none of them are investigating Maloney’s true motives, they are already known as dummies easily manipulated,.

    Barbados has been a kleptocracy

    The same infamous band of thieves have made lots of money under the last BLP government

    Under this government, the same people, in the main, continue to see government as strategic to their top and bottom lines.

    Under the next BLP government, the same institutional business gangsterism will continue.

    The question is, when will Bajans wake up from 50 years of elected kleptocracy?

    Some mind game

    What, what IF slavery never ended in Barbados and the planters simply told their slaves at same point in time that they are free when they are not? Slaves working hard AND paying taxes to the planters? What IF Maloney succeeded others too old to rule the plantation as master? What IF the laws only exist in the minds of the inmates of the plantation and the master acts as he wants from time to time?

    There was a time when a plantation owner had no need to obtain a personal drivers license. He hired a skilled licensed Chauffeur to run the great house “staff’ car .
    COW and Bizzle , et all, also require UWI qualified ‘chauffeurs’ to run their air-conditioned industrial and service plantations.

    Time to break their backs, life has become way too easy for these 6 or 7 minorities who are deliberately and maliciously sucking the island dry so no one else can prosper, access to taxpayer’s money and pensioners money has become way too easy for them through these vile, greedy and weak government ministers, it has to end.

    The wide discretion given to this applicant by the CTP and PM can be ‘explained’ but what I am struggling with is why didn’t the applicant/developer want to carry what is now a quite routine procedure, an EIA?
    What is the cost of not doing an EIA?

    In the past, the Williams Brothers and Jerkham were the bosses of this island. Since the triangle of concrete is too old now, Maloney is taking over, becoming the new master of Barbados alone. Advice for the masses: Instead of submitting your application to Town & Planning and waiting ages, just call Maloney.

    The glove puppets in the theatre of the plantation might change, the puppet master stays.

    You are close but a bit far off. Maloney is Williams, Simpson and Bjerkhamn DLP face. I have heard repeatedly that 2008 prior to the DLP coming to office this man was operating a small construction company and living a average middle class life in a rental house.
    Remember the late David Thompson awarded Housing Concepts SRL, by way of a Cabinet decision, during the tendering procedure in 2008. Imagine Barbadian companies busy trying to put together decent proposals for the use of the lands at Coverly and putting themselves to serious expense completely unaware that at the date for submissions of tenders/proposals the DLP had already awarded the project to Housing Concepts SRL. You can think of anything more wicked than this?

    A good question against the warning from Comissiong that he would challenge the decision in court. Strange also if one reads the draft TPD Physical Development Plan.

    Mr. Comissiong is to be congratulated for having the guts to make sure Barbados is equal for and amongst all. I am sure that Mr. Comissiong does not oppose the Hyatt hotel but is more the scale of the project and the usually, the irregular manner in which permission was granted and the beneficial conditions/ommissions given.

    Both political parties once elected break the islands laws to accomodate the few minorities.

    Fruendel and Cummins openly broke the laws to accomodate Maloney and his masters with this Hyatt project, this gotta stop, both political parties continue to disenfranchise the 270,000 majority votes to accomodate a few minority crooks and have done so for decades….That is criminal.

    You wound have thought that a man like FJS who was hithertofore central to the kleptocratic general tendencies would have been recoiled from this kind of thing.

    The truth is that FJS is as big a criminal as any other PM of Barbados has been, if not worst.

    And because this criminal doesn’t speak to us or when he speak tells persistent, provable lies, all the time, he just proves how dangerous a a criminal he can be.

    A criminal without feeling, a narcissistic personality like Trump.

    Similar to the tenders that were (never) invited for the redevelopment of Bushy Park? For which the land owner is yet to agree a price, far less been paid?

    It’s amazing that Mark Maloney wanted Cummins fired because he could not get his way with the Soring Garden mess, ah bet he dont want Cummins fired anymore…..Fruendel and Cummins should be fired and Maloney remove from dipping his hands in the treasury…..of course Bizzy, Cow and Bjerkham will just send another minority in his place to steal from the people using government ministers, but not if the people stay on top of them, identify and continue to expose them.

    In the mean while economic growth of this country is hampered placing another road block in its path. Lives of everyday barbadians looking and depending on meanigful projects for employment would have to wait another day a week a month or who knows for how long
    This ongoing activity to sabotage the barbados economy by way of the court if allowed by way of jurisprudence would come back to bite barbados big time in the ar.sss and the poor and unsuspecting would suffer the most
    Govt can no longer sit and wait and see but must proceed with decisive actions that would protect barbados best interest.

    What is really the matter with you? What sort of island would you like? You don’t like “so called” minorities. You do not like lawyers, even though they are from the majority. You don’t like politicians, even though they are from the majority, You don’t like preachers and religious leaders, majority or otherwise. Is there anyone you like? do you like yourself?

    Pacha..am sure Cummins’ bribe is in his account, but they did not count on Commissiong doing indepth research, it was clear even to me that no impact study had been done on that stretch of beach in 10 years …… I posted on it, ya cannot build on such dangerous ground without a study, which both disgusting Fruendel and Cummins were willing to overlook, even if by doing so the 15 storey structure eventually fell into the sea….with people inside.

    These beasts are not leaders, they are bribetakers, hence NOTHING has been done in 9 years, in 14 years in decades before that to stop the island’s dependency problems..

    What barbadians are witnessing is a drawing of blood drip by drip with the eventuality of having a snowball effect on investor confidence long term in barbados economy.
    The court must wisely look with a deepened interest of motives and intents brought forward and weighed the rationality of the impending negative actions wherby there decision making can help or harm barbados economic future

    Any one who belives Commissiong actions serves well the interest of barbados better think again.His views on outside investors are well detailed in word and deed this very action to stop the Hyatt is another manifestation of all he has said which calls into account the seriousness of his actions and whether those actions are simply driven by political oportunism or simply a love of country.
    One would be hardpresse to decide the later given Commissiong various utterances mounted on political speech
    The future of barbados interest would contiue to be fragile unless the courts act with quick resolve in preparing an agenda that is apolitical mounted on a high level of putting country first
