London: Better to keep ‘mum’ on Pigeon Point issue

Chief Secretary of the Tobago House of Assembly, Orville London, yesterday conceded that it was best that too much was not said on the Pigeon Point issue.

At yesterday’s post-Executive Council media briefing, London said that he had been advised that sometimes when matters reached the point where they were most likely to go to court, “one of the greatest harms one can do to oneself was to talk too much. “Under the circumstances, I do not believe that one should speak too much or reveal too much, but I promise, as I have done in the past, to be as transparent as possible and to let the public know what I think they should know without undermining the THA’s position,” London said. London was making reference to the latest twist in the longstanding impasse between the Ansa McAl group and the THA, where, on last Friday, the owners of Club Pigeon Point recently filed a constitutional motion against the State challenging the proposed compulsory acquisition of the property “for public purposes” recently initiated by the Tobago House of Assembly.
