I am really seething tonight. Seething.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"line-height:115%; margin-top:0pt; margin-bottom:10pt;\"><span style=\"font-size:11pt;\"><span style=\"font-family:Calibri;\">\u201cThere\u2019s a young man, he\u2019s in the audience here tonight, Romal John, who has decided that he can\u2019t take the situation in St. Vincent anymore and he\u2019s going to speak out. He has been at every single village meeting I have had and he\u2019s been at the virtual meetings also,\u201d as she addressed another virtual constituency meeting published on Facebook last Thursday evening.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"line-height:115%; margin-top:0pt; margin-bottom:10pt;\"><span style=\"font-size:11pt;\"><span style=\"font-family:Calibri;\">Earlier this year, John made his debut political speech in support of Bacchus-Baptiste\u2019s bid to represent the West St. George constituency at her first public event at Gomea. Since that speech where he was said to have spoken \u201cfrom his heart,\u201d the young entrepreneur evidently \u201cgot the powers that be upset.\u201d <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"line-height:115%; margin-top:0pt; margin-bottom:10pt;\"><span style=\"font-size:11pt;\"><span style=\"font-family:Calibri;\">Senator Bacchus-Baptiste continued, \u201cwithin days a policeman was at his house, arrested him [and] took him to the Calliaqua Police Station. Ostensibly for a debt that he owed \u2013 some debt? How many persons in owe debts? I eventually got him out the police station. This is no joke you know my people; and how many of us suffer this victimization because we dare to speak out.\u201d<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"line-height:115%; margin-top:0pt; margin-bottom:10pt;\"><span style=\"font-size:11pt;\"><span style=\"font-family:Calibri;\">This alleged State sponsored ill-treatment continued when John, who runs one of the fruit and vegetable stalls that sprang up along the road across from the Massy Supermarket with his twin brother Jomal, was ordered to cease their vending operation; although no formal notice was presented to them at that time.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"line-height:115%; margin-top:0pt; margin-bottom:10pt;\"><span style=\"font-size:11pt;\"><span style=\"font-family:Calibri;\"> \u201cA few days ago I got a call from him\u2026 they all of a sudden decide that he must be moved. They said 3 days \u2013 Monday they tell him by Friday \u2018you have to move!\u2019 So I said, \u2018did you get a letter? Where is this coming from?\u2019 <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"line-height:115%; margin-top:0pt; margin-bottom:10pt;\"><span style=\"font-size:11pt;\"><span style=\"font-family:Calibri;\">\u201cNo letter. So he said \u2018I\u2019m going in to them to find out.\u2019 He went in \u2013 no letter. Today [July 9] he gets a letter.\u201d<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"line-height:115%; margin-top:0pt; margin-bottom:10pt;\"><span style=\"font-size:11pt;\"><span style=\"font-family:Calibri;\">Bacchus-Baptiste proceeded to read from a letter that was dated July 9 and captured the Physical Planning and Development Board\u2019s explicit intention to execute a demolition exercise on July 16, 2020.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"line-height:115%; margin-top:0pt; margin-bottom:10pt;\"><span style=\"font-size:11pt;\"><span style=\"font-family:Calibri;\">The letter also referred to an enforcement notice purportedly served on the brothers \u201con the 23<\/span><\/span><span style=\"font-size:11pt;\"><span style=\"font-family:Calibri;\"><sup>rd<\/sup><\/span><\/span><span style=\"font-size:11pt;\"><span style=\"font-family:Calibri;\"> of February 2018.\u201d The PP&amp;D Board granted the vendors \u201ca period of 7 days dated from the service of this notice to remove the unauthorized structure\u201d even as they warned that, \u201cfailure to comply with this notice would result in the demolition of the unauthorized structure by an agent authorized in writing by the Physical Planning and Development Board.\u201d<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"line-height:115%; margin-top:0pt; margin-bottom:10pt;\"><span style=\"font-size:11pt;\"><span style=\"font-family:Calibri;\">The Johns were not the only vendors affected by the Board\u2019s decision to exercise its powers as bequeathed under the Town and Country Planning Act but Senator Bacchus-Baptiste is adamant that this ill-fate only befell that community of vendors because \u201cthey want to spite and victimize a young Vincentian entrepreneur.\u201d<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"line-height:115%; margin-top:0pt; margin-bottom:10pt;\"><span style=\"font-size:11pt;\"><span style=\"font-family:Calibri;\">She offered as supporting evidence for this particular view the fact that none of the other vendors\u2019 letters named any of them as was the case with the letter sent to the Johns. Additionally the enforcement notice, a prescribed requirement by law, was purportedly served on the other vendors on February 23, 2020 \u2013 according to their letters.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"line-height:115%; margin-top:0pt; margin-bottom:10pt;\"><span style=\"font-size:11pt;\"><span style=\"font-family:Calibri;\">\u201cWell my research says that absolutely no enforcement notice was served! This is a wicked government. You see the Town and Country Planning Act prescribes that you must serve an enforcement notice and you must serve it within 5 years of when you start your business. Romal has been there for over 8 years going into 9 years. And they put this lie in the letter that they served him a notice \u2013 when? \u2013 on the 23<\/span><\/span><span style=\"font-size:11pt;\"><span style=\"font-family:Calibri;\"><sup>rd<\/sup><\/span><\/span><span style=\"font-size:11pt;\"><span style=\"font-family:Calibri;\"> of February 2018.

But the other letter say that the notice was served on the 23<\/span><\/span><span style=\"font-size:11pt;\"><span style=\"font-family:Calibri;\"><sup>rd<\/sup><\/span><\/span><span style=\"font-size:11pt;\"><span style=\"font-family:Calibri;\"> of February 2020.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"line-height:115%; margin-top:0pt; margin-bottom:10pt;\"><span style=\"font-size:11pt;\"><span style=\"font-family:Calibri;\">\u201cThese people have been there for over 5 years \u2013 all of them! If you\u2019re going to serve a notice in 2020 &#8211;  what yo telling me? You know the 5 years gone! None of them could move! But Romal was served \u2013 I am angry!<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"line-height:115%; margin-top:0pt; margin-bottom:10pt;\"><span style=\"font-size:11pt;\"><span style=\"font-family:Calibri;\">\u201cRomal, they say, was served in 2018. They are meaning to say we served you it in time and you did nothing. They are going to get a hell of a fight on their hands. Tomorrow DV [July 10], I am lodging an appeal under the Act. I am lodging an appeal under the Act! They must stop victimizing our Vincentians.\u201d Bacchus explained to her audience.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"line-height:115%; margin-top:0pt; margin-bottom:10pt;\"><span style=\"font-size:11pt;\"><span style=\"font-family:Calibri;\">Asbert News Network reached out to Senator Bacchus-Baptiste for further clarity regarding her allegation that her supporter was being unfairly targeted by agents of the State.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"line-height:115%; margin-top:0pt; margin-bottom:10pt;\"><span style=\"font-size:11pt;\"><span style=\"font-family:Calibri;\">The learned barrister contended that the fictional enforcement notice was never transmitted to the Johns and that the backdated reference listed in the most recent communique was merely a ploy to satisfy the very explicit guidelines stipulated in the Act.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"line-height:115%; margin-top:0pt; margin-bottom:10pt;\"><span style=\"font-size:11pt;\"><span style=\"font-family:Calibri;\"> Further, she noted, the \u201calleged enforcement notice\u201d that was presented to the other vendors allows them some measure of defense against the Board\u2019s proposed actions whereas that courtesy was denied the twin brothers. This Senator Bacchus-Baptiste said was due to the supposed date that their alleged enforcement notice was dispatched.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"line-height:115%; margin-top:0pt; margin-bottom:10pt;\"><span style=\"font-size:11pt;\"><span style=\"font-family:Calibri;\">\u201cThey are wrong on all counts and I\u2019m not going to let them victimize him and get away with it,\u201d she shared while pointing to the fact that the brothers were operating a business they registered since 2013 and as such are entitled to the economic protection that is also enshrined in the said Act. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"line-height:115%; margin-top:0pt; margin-bottom:10pt;\"><span style=\"font-size:11pt;\"><span style=\"font-family:Calibri;\">Romal John was the subject of much ridicule from the Unity Labour Party supporters and radio show hosts, Bacchus-Baptiste reported. This was due to his grammatically incorrect though passionate political speech.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"line-height:115%; margin-top:0pt; margin-bottom:10pt;\"><span style=\"font-size:11pt;\"><span style=\"font-family:Calibri;\">The promised appeal which would be made on behalf of 5 vendors was already prepped on Friday and is expected to be lodged on Monday. The issue would not be ventilated in Court but the hoped for outcome is a speedy response to the mounting crises. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"line-height:115%; margin-top:0pt; margin-bottom:10pt;\"><span style=\"font-size:11pt;\"><span style=\"font-family:Calibri;\">In the meantime Senator Bacchus-Baptiste has urged all affected parties \u201cto stay there and ply their trade once they know they have been there for over 5 years because then this notice is void and besides it\u2019s not even a proper notice, it\u2019s just a letter.
