Sir Charles Williams

I followed this matter in the print media of the Sunday Sun last week and have since heard of a banter on the radio program “Brasstacks” between Sir. Charles Williams and Ambassador Ryan Brathwaite regarding this issue! At this juncture I wish to state very clearly that I have been privy to three occasions prior to the elections where I have personally engaged Sir Charles on this subject on behalf of Ambassador Ryan Brathwaite with both gentlemen present.

In my opinion, Sir. Charles had exhausted every avenue to have the gifted lands approved by the Town and Country Planning Department from inception. From our initial meeting, Sir Charles profusely apologized to Ambassador. Ryan Brathwaite for the protracted delays experienced over the past 9 years citing the then Prime Minister Fruendel Stuart as being the hindrance to the handing over of the lands with the relevant approvals.

In his usual candour Sir Charles gave us a dossier of a multiplicity of correspondence to the Town and Country Planning Department and the Ministry of Agriculture to outline the arduous process and the status to date. This was followed up by an introduction to Sir Charles’  Physical Planners who in return forwarded every iota to both Ambassador Ryan Brathwaite and myself spanning the 9 year period.

It was upon confirmation of receipt of the documentation that Sir Charles gave me full authority to pursue the completion of this matter citing the possibility of my placing some political pressure on the government to do right by Ambassador Ryan Brathwaite. Both gentlemen were extremely frustrated for obvious reasons as Ambassador Ryan Brathwaite wanted to acquire the lands and Sir Charles wanted desperately to deed the gift offered with the relevant permissions.

When asked why Sir  Charles did not alternately choose to offer up a parcel at Apes Hill, the initial reason for the location of the agreed and substantive parcel was that of the locale in relation to the village (Hillaby) where the Ambassador grew up. This was all cited by Sir Charles in the media of recent.

As I came to be acutely aware that Sir Charles had indeed exhausted all channels to acquire the relevant Permissions; I instructed the Ambassador not to engage the media on the matter in the presence of Sir. Charles in the hopes that we could have approached the Hon. Fruendel Stuart in order to have the file reviewed with every expectancy that it would be favourably granted the permissions sought.

To my dismay some two (2) weeks later there was an article in the electronic media where Ambassador Ryan Brathwaite allegedly spoke at length with the press regarding the issues. This was against our mutual agreement in the presence of Sir. Charles and my subsequent admonishment not to go to the public domain with what was at present a very sensitive issue. When Ambassador Ryan Brathwaite was confronted on the matter, his response was that he received a telephone call from that specific media house to query the progress to date on the approvals.

My verification with the media house concluded that Ambassador Brathwaite reached out to them to give the story even against our admonishment and his agreement not to do so in order that we could engage the Prime Minister. By this time I became aware that Ambassador Ryan Brathwaite out of total frustration was becoming devoid of reasoning.

I contacted Sir Charles to apologize for the matter having reached the media which was contrary to our last agreement and understanding. Sir Charles was quite gracious and we then agreed to proceed as planned to have an audience with Prime Minister Stuart.

Once more to my shock and dismay during a conversation with Ambassador Ryan Brathwaite it was revealed to me that he had high hopes of selling the land in order to pursue funding for the preparation process leading up to the World Games qualifiers and the 2020 Olympics.

At that juncture I grew very concerned that an athlete of this calibre was not being subsidized by the Ministry of Sports. I immediately tried to reach out to the then Minister the Hon. Stephen Lashley who refused to accept calls from both Ambassador Ryan Brathwaite and myself. I was later informed that the minister did respond to the Ambassador through a subordinate and gave assurances that he would also have the planning approvals garnered through the Hon. Fruendel Stuart, Prime Minister.

This matter has indeed been a political football that has been kicked off field for reasons only known to the Democratic Labour Party Administration which up until election time has never addressed the issuance of permissions for the subdivision.

It is my hope that this will vindicate Sir. Charles and also engage the attention of the Hon. Mia Mottley Q.C, M.P, Prime Minister where a positive outcome will be concluded.
Let us be true Patriots and reward our Citizens who Excel beyond expectation.

    The last government had no sense. A simple application of planning obligations could have been a win-win for all involved. Grant the subdivision on the condition that a percentage of the land/lots be set aside for future Barbadians who medal at the Olympics/World Championships.

    What kind of cockamamie suggestion is that? Olympic/world championship medals for Barbados are few and far between and even COW would balk at that condition because his land will sit in perpetuity when it could have been sold.

    You sure you didn’t have some wobbly pops before you wrote that?

    But you in charge now so invite COW to submit another application and we will wait for the photo op….

    It’s called an obligation/condition for a reason. You OBLIGE or no permission and in this instance Cow has no legal legs to stand on–none! So don’t tell me about cockamie. Such an obligation/condition would not be impossible or onerous on the applicant and therefore would be enforceable. The lost of income from the sale of lots would not be a strong argument. Stick to what you know ’bout cuz clearly this type of legalese is foreign to you.

    Look how you call out Enuff of Lorenzo duo on this idiot idea when you indicated that reserving all this land for Olympic gold medallist was flawed.

    You would have tried to explain to the dufus that because the likelihood of nuff more medallists was ammmmm remote, the idea they provided was pup.

    look what Einstein Enuff said.

    We now realize it is Neil Holder the buffoon in white who ran for political office with a no name party who wrote this essay. No doubt he forfeited his election deposit. Who of sane mind would listen to and vote for Neil Holder. The running for office by him and others makes a bigger mockery of the Westminster system than it already is.

    What is Ryan Brathwaite doing confiding in him as a go between Cow and himself. You trust COW at your peril. COW, Bizzy and the ostensibly non black cabal perfected the art of targeting the treasury of Barbados. Foreign investment is an after thought . The massive deals with government over the years have made the white elite super rich. At the same time consolidating the commanding heights of the economy and landownership in the hands of COW and his mates.

    There were rumors of Brathwaite falling afoul of his international sports sponsors who allegedly were unhappy with his progress. It is disturbing how fast he fell from world champion to an also ran. He’s still a great sports hero although his light went out too quickly. Cow is Cow. Words to describe Holder would violate the etiquette of the blog. The man and his alleged political party are the stuff of comedy. Brathwaite should seek alternative counsel.

    Piece
    The salient part of my comment was not about Olympic/World Championship medallists you jackass. It was the principle of using the planning system i.e. the grant of approval to extract public benefits. I said athletes because RB is one but it could apply to other areas where a Barbadian excels–a Grammy/Emmy, Miss Universe/World, a patent etc. Nevertheless, the fact that we don’t win anything regularly does not mean that it wouldn’t happen; therefore, asking Cow to set aside some of the lots is being strategic. The land would not ‘spile’ but in the event someone wins something on the world stage, instead of scrambling, the whole of Bim would know a plot of land is available–“Winners Avenue”. While we await a winner, the lots would be open spaces in the area kept clean by Cow. Empty lots in Bdos is not new. Instead of talking shiite use your best friend Google and you’ll see that in jurisdictions where similar legal obligations or conditions are used, developers are required to contribute millions toward public infrastructure, job training, schools etc. They deliver them directly or pay the equivalent in cash. The act governing town planning is discretionary in nature and in many instances public benefits can be used to tip the scale in favour of approval. The same principle Cow is adopting in this instance–approve because our World Champion would benefit. I repeat, allow Cow to subdivide but attach obligation/condition. You too should stick to what you know–conspiracy theories.

    PS: I am an expert and before May 24. Rest me!

    “therefore, asking Cow to set aside some of the lots is being strategic. ”

    The government is in charge of the people’s land bank…it is the government’s job to set aside land/empty lots for their own successful and gifted people, not Cow’s ….because he will always have an ulterior motive to rip off the treasury and pension fund in return, why allow him to rip off the people’s land then set up a land fund to give back to successful black bajans, what is wrong with you people..how does that even make sense to anyone..

    There is enough land in the land bank for government to set up a “Winners Ave” ..for their people…why is an old land thief the one chosen to provide this when all the land sits in a land bank controlled by government.

    .Cow should have been in prison and out of the majority population’s life decades ago.

    What this is, a lesson to all of the promising athletes. Use your talents to get a scholarship. Get a good degree. Get a masters and then use those to get a job in the US, UK or Europe.

    Barbados / Barbadians have never cared about athletes and never will. When we watch the Jamaicans and Bahamians slaughtering the opposition at the Olympics, we cheer.

    But the Jamaicans and Bahamians know where their bread is buttered and support is derived.

    Barbadians do not.

    A gold medal means a lot to an individual but all you will get in Barbados is a smile and a well done. It will not get you a job like cricket did in the old days.

    Use athletics to get a degree and then ‘stop over and away’, if you want to get somewhere in life.

    Heed my words.

    @ Enuff of Lorenzo duo

    You should have left “well enough” alone with your last idiotic comment to Sargeant and should not have arisen at 3.56 am to append to your mono track idiocy.

    The point cretin that was made is that for one man COW to be solely responsible for the welfare of ALL THE POTENTIAL OLYMPIC MEDALISTS under your hairbrained scheme is pure idiocy.

    No one person would be so foolish to commit their resources to your Winners Avenue because it would severely discomfort a single private sector land developer to first anticipate the amount of winners and then allocate said land in perpetuity for your idiocy

    Sargeant first showed you to be an idiot and WARU confirmed your idiocy.

    AND YOU CAN BET YOUR LAST DOLLAR THAT MIA DUN KNOWS THAT YOU ARE A CRETIN notwithstanding you loyalty here on BU.

    A wiser woman would have backtracked and said

    1.I am wrong to have suggested that the permission be granted for COW to change the use of this agricultural land for Ryan Brathwaite

    AND

    2.I was even more idiotic to suggest that COW block of his assets for such a scheme as opposed to making spontaneous acts of gifting that have much more currency to the bajan public that perceive him to be a rapist of crown lands.

    Continue on smartly.

    Ohhh and the Hoodie strategy is quite ammm puerile AND IS NOT MY ACHILLES HEEL heheheheh.

    Let me explain that. When you cite the seeming? Incorrectness per Monique heheheheh you need to understand something. Sir Brandford had a modest home. (I know you don’t understand that heheheheheh)

    What is the brand of the Stoopid Cartoon? Where lies the “demerit”?

    Understandeth thou what thou readeth?

    I done been told wunna what is de ole man heel but you persist with these puerile goading exercises that only confirm your childish mentality as a political strategist and brings hellfire strikes on the tango.

    Heed her warnings and DO NOT ENGAGE since you ARE NOT & WILL NEVER BE the tango.

    A creative suggestion? In this case do we know if the application by Sir Charles was to buy the swath of land or was it only the plot for RB.

    May be your suggestion could work a couple lots per development in areas where the sq ft is greater than x amount? Appreciate your point about maintaining open spaces.

    Who gives a shit about a planning obligation/gain….it is accurate, but not the point.

    There would be no need for a planning obligation/gain..if the black governments got off their lazy asses, took care of their own athletes instead of sitting on their asses colluding with and allowing the likes of Cow to raid the land, outright theft, raid the treasury, outright theft, raid the pension fund, outright theft…then turn around and be insulting, condescending and disrespectful to the same black population he steals from…not to mention practice his nasty racism against..

    ….if the governments instead used the land and money belonging to THE PEOPLE to look after their gifted and creative people …who the hell would need to be given a planning obligation/gain…what the hell is wrong with you.

    besides anyone can google planning obligation/gain..it is not rocket science..

    @ Crusoe.

    For a bajan *** you have spoken true words to these all these athletes.

    The sad travesty is that Ambassador Ryan Brathwaite is now 30 AND NO ONE IS PREPARED TO TELL HIM THAT HE HAS wasted his time with this government thing and his aspirations.

    Sometimes you have to know when “to fold and walk away…”

    9 years At 30 while a belly searcher is not an insurmountable obstacle

    @ Ryan Brathwaite

    Let de ole man suggest this.

    Create a Non Governmental Organisation called

    ” Outside the Winner’s Circle” with the tag line “the ultimate support mechanism for aspiring athletes.”

    Have as your landing page your story showing why you created the site.

    To assist the “almost there” athletes. The girls and guys like you; with talent and no money.

    Reach out to Rihanna for funding.

    Make the site into a virtual avenue for other athletes Ryan.

    There’s a lot of things you can do with this site young man.

    Avoid the rabble trousers like Neil who wishes to make this a political football.

    Go to COW and ask him to fund it. He is not a bad man as many of us here would like to point him out to be BUT as a minority one can understand these natural defences

    I would get de grandson to help you with the concept Ryan.

    In fact Ryan de ole man will go a bit further and give you the contact information for a feller who would give you a patentable idea pun dis seeming hurdle Ryan something that would permit you to generate real money

    And would make the name Ryan Brathwaite a world legend in a valley yet unfound

    The problem with these so called leaders, both the political ones and Chaiman Mia Mao ZeJong ‘s own, is that they CANNOT THINK.

    Like COW and Enuff of Lorenzo duo they are tied to the physical land and like Mia CANNOT SEE THE FUTURE AND THE OPPORTUNITIES.

    Some of us get that.

    And it’s a sad realization when you be a thoroughbred in a jackass race.

    Give it some thought and then if it makes sense reach out to de ole man for that referral

    OR NOT, cause OLE MAN notes that when the offers come wunna does mysteriously disappear heheheheh.

    As if warned away by intermediaries heheheheh but I ent saying a ting

    I figured out some years ago that the self inflicted infestation and mental disease running through the legal fraternity, the judiciary and in the political landscape, the parliament …STILL ARE….they are keeping this destructive practice in play that if the black population needs ANYTHING…and mind you what they need already belongs to them…the wicked system set up by the aforementioned pushes and forces the people to either have to go through the evil minded low rent lawyers, the politicians or the low class thieving minorities on the island or the population cannot get anything done OR move forward, but now it has reached such a state of stagnation from that nonproductive practice that the island has completely STOPPED moving period…

    Look at yasvelves the same way others have observed you and figured it out…figured out what your self inflicted problems are…gosh.

    I repeat it is the principle so therefore it could be applied to other cases. I am not familiar with all the details of this case, but from what I gather from Cow’s comments on VoB he OWNS the land and appears to be looking at LOTS, he even mentioned providing some for staff.

    I am not bothered by the illiterati. We have been subdividing/changing use of agri land for eons–it is not new. Furthermore, the rigid approach to land use is obsolescent but that’s another discussion. However, with some progressive policy (not ignoring the need to keep certain lands in agri use), we could extract substantial public benefits from such approvals by embedding a more robust and transformative planning gain framework into the planning process. Mind you the damn opportunity already exists in the law but has not been used. Instead we have a know-it-all, who admits she does not know what is a RH planning obligation, talking shite. The other Oracle, a pseudo-specialist in malware, twists, turns and changes the argument when he’s been
    evaginated. He is so comatosed, that he interprets my recommendation as being focused on the “physical”, when in fact it is multi-faceted: fairness, equity, transparency, social and economic development and recognition and rewarding of our people who excel against the best in the world in a dignified manner. As we speak, I know someone who is involved in a scheme in the UK and their company must provide a medical clinic and a school as part of their development as an obligation to get planning approval. In Bdos meanwhile we are struggling to synthesise the concept of Cow being obligated to contribute a few lots to the public good. I’ll let the brayers continue to bray.

    what Bim needs to do is develop a land sale law whereby land that is now in foreign ownership can be sold from foreigner to foreigner but other lands and that coming back into Bim ownership must be leased. leases could be 99 years. this would ensure that we do not find ourselves as tenants in our own country. if we want to copy and paste an appropriate law we can look at Fiji or most recently NZealand. land price is now around 15$ a sf, and that is for the cheapest. who in Bim can afford that and then have to build a house. ridiculous.

    but we need foreign exchange so i dont it will happen.

    Bushie is so disappointed to discover that you have the same damn mendicant, albino-centric attitude that guided the DLP parasites to genuflect and kowtow to COW, baloney, jerkham, bizzy and the other symbols of the old plantocracy over the past 10 years.

    Imagine the Barbados GOVERNMENT sniffing behind a cow’s ass for incentives for our WORLD CLASS athletic champions..
    Why is the Sports Council there?
    What does the Arts & Sports Fund do?
    Who audits the BOA?

    Bushie was hopeful that you had learnt enuff on BU to understand the need for SELF RESPECT to drive national policy.
    Instead, wunna are off and running along the IDENTICAL course that Stinkliar and Froon just recently disgraced.

    Just hearing of the deal with Coverley and baloney alone turns Bushie’s stomach…
    Small ‘deals’ with the Devil ONLY EVER lead to total capitulation…

    How soon will the Hyatt commence – now that you and YOUR ilk are set to benefit from the crumbs?
    Is the deathtrap at Coverley now acceptable – since your party became the new baloney poppet?
    How about the cement bond at the Flour Mill? has that now passed the shiite test…?
    Is the BWA building scam now sanctified…?

    Steupsss… There is NO HOPE for our asses.

    Everything in Barbados seems to mimic the sewerage plant….

    Why the hell in this day and age should young, talented athletes be exposed to the albino-centric whims and fancies of the parasites of society?
    Why would a talent like RB not have been SIGNED-UP into a program that would guide, nurture and PROTECT his future career and LIFE – once his immense talents were discovered?
    Why would such a contract not have ENSURED that all ‘gifts’ and incentives ( and THREATS) intended for him be channelled through a foundation managed by sports professionals along with his managers /parents ?

    Every time a little talent shows its head these parasites jump out of the woodwork looking to jump on board…. and rather than come with a NEW approach guided by SELF RESPEC, enuff keeps talking about “what has been done this way for decades….”
    No wonder mendicancy is rampant….

    Bushie would prefer that JUSTICE be seen to be done.
    What is the arrangement that sees ownership of this piece of the country being structured as it is?

    Why is this arrangement accepted as a fait accompli? What has taxpayers contributed to it? What do taxpayers now own /benefit from it?

    Perhaps the Coverley plant should be even expanded, but it should be done in a way that ensures that TAXPAYERS are treated fairly.

    It takes on the transparency effect a guide to good goverence and not a govt agenda guided of a need to hide how much financial investment has govt given as concessions for the houses to be available to the Ross students

    You know the answer to your question. It was touched on by others on this very blog. Where in the pecking order do we position sports and culture related activities as a people? Which government will reallocate resources from health, education, agriculture and the traditional sectors to drive a relevant youth/sports program?
