It’s clear that Mr. Peter Nygard is not a law abiding and
respectable resident of The Bahamas. His
actions at Simms Point/Nygard Cay to date, has demonstrated his contempt for
the Bahamian people and our nation generally.
How is it that the land which was initially purchased at Simms
Point/Nygard Cay by Mr. Peter Nygard - has been doubled in size, and
construction work has commenced on the reclaimed land or Bahamian people’s
property or crown land - without the required permits?
Mr. Nygard’s unashamed boldness and disrespect for The
Bahamas and its people are being fuelled by political corruption in high places
in these islands – in my opinion. Yes,
black political leaders in The Bahamas are giving Peter Nygard and the like a
blank check to have their way in our country.
I wonder why.
It has been reported that the work at Simms Point /
Nygard Cay is adversely affecting Clifton Bay.
The last time I was on Jaws Beach – during the Whit Monday Holiday, I
have noticed that the place looks like a nuclear bomb has hit it. It doesn’t resemble the beach environment
which has been known to me for the past 40 years. To add insult to injury, it has been
established that agents of Mr. Nygard are doing their own brand of restoration
work in the Clifton Bay area; a property which is under the care and trust of
the Clifton Heritage Authority. What
madness is this?
This Nygard situation has many right-thinking Bahamians
wondering about the question: Who or what is in governing The Bahamas? Is the answer money, bribes, brazen
corruption or who - or what?
Mr. Peter Nygard
would be well advised to restore his property to its original boundary and
allow Mother Nature to reclaim her coastline; and deliver his agents from their
self-imposed ownership of Jaws Beach - as it is the sacred land of all
Bahamians, and we did not appoint his Lawyer - Keod Smith – as supreme head of
the Clifton Heritage Authority.
