Prime Minister Gaston Browne said: Peter Kelsick needs to stop peddling lies and deceitful partisan rhetoric.
He reached a deal for the demolition of his derelict plywood shack, which was located literally on the beach, six feet away from a block of rooms for the new Halcyon Chic Hotel.
My understanding is that he accepted a compensation package from Royalton that is 40 times the value of his ramshackled building
He wants to have his cake and eat it. He is now opportunistically trying to extract personal sympathy and political value for his UPP cronies.
He has had 40 yrs squatting on the public beach without paying a red cent. As a man ostensibly in his 70’s, he had 40 yrs to build a savings for his retirement.
He operated a one man business for 40 years, instead of building a sustaining business.Now that he has advanced in age, he doesn’t have the energy to operate the business and was forced to close it four years ago, leaving the derelict structure to further decay
The structure was an eyesore to locals and visitors alike.
