EDITOR, The Tribune.

I read with great interest the response of the Grand Bahama Port Authority (GBPA), to my appearance on the Love 97 programme Issues of The Day, hosted by Mr Wendall K Jones, on the 29th  AD 2016.

I found the contents of paragraph two of the GBPA letter particularly interesting where they mention for the public’s benefit that I have a pending lawsuit against them.

I wish to state emphatically that at no time did I mention my pending litigation on the broadcast or elsewhere in the public domain as I am advised the matter is sub judice.

The assertions levied in the letter regarding my “day in court” are fallacious and a blatant attempt to divert the public’s attention from the real issue, my action against them. Any delay in the start of the trial that GBPA makes mention of in their letter is a direct result of them not providing important documentation which has been repeatedly requested by my Attorneys.

Further, all the requested documents to date are still outstanding thereby further delaying my trial.

It seems peculiar to myself and the residents that the GBPA and Dr Darville are having discussions since neither have acknowledged of the plight of the residents of Chesapeake.

However, I look forward to the results of the discussions between GBPA and The Hon Dr Michael Darville, as the residents of Chesapeake have suffered enough.
