Questions referring to Works Minister Bradley Robert’s possible involvement in Sunshine Holdings as well as the probable impact of Arawak Homes’ economic interests in government projects, are expected to be addressed in the Senate.
In questions added to the agenda of the Senate, FNM Senator Carl Bethel wants Minister of Energy and Environment Dr Marcus Bethel to clarify Minister Roberts’ connection to Arawak Homes.
Mr Bethel is asking if Minister Roberts is the same Bradley B Roberts who is recorded in the 2007 ļ¾ annual statement of Arawak Homes as the vice-president and director of that company.
“Will the government confirm or deny the fact that 20,000 shares in Sunshine Holdings, formerly in the name of Bradley B Roberts are now held in the name of Illamad Trust,” a question Mr Bethel has added to the Senate’s agenda.
He has also asked Minister Bethel if the word ‘lllamad’ is ‘Damalli’ spelt backwards and if “Darnalli” is the name of Minister Robert’s residence.
“Will the government confirm or deny that (Minister) Roberts is a beneficiary, if not : the sole beneficiary of the said lllamad Trust?” Mr Bethel asked.
The FNM senator is also questioning if the Ministry of Works at any time after May 2, 2002 cancelled existing work orders to pave roadways in a residential area on the southern side of the Charles Saunders Highway in an area west of the Seabreeze subdivision and east of the Sir Lynden Pindling subdivision.
Mr Bethel is asking if this land is claimed by Arawak Homes to he the company’s s property.
If the ministry did cancel the road paving work order, why did the minisitry do so? If not why have the roads in the residential area as described not yet been paved by the Ministry of Public Works?” the senator wanted to know. The FNM senator asked of government to confirm or deny that the economic interests of Arawak Homes and/or Minister Roberts, in any way affected the failure on part of the Ministry of Works “in paving said roadways.”
