Warner: I was offered Santa Rosa jail property for $15m

Government paid a whopping $230 million for the property to house the new Santa Rosa jail when the same property in 2007 was offered to him for sale at $15 million, says Independent Chaguanas West MP Jack Warner.

He made the disclosure during his contribution to the budget debate at the Parliament sitting, Tower D, International Waterfront centre, Port of Spain, yesterday.

Warner said in 2007, former chief executive officer (CEO) of Neal and Massy, Bernard Dulal-Whiteway, approached him to purchase the property but he did not buy it because they could not reach a deal.

“Bernard Dulal-Whiteway came to me and offered me to buy that property for $16 million. Mr Speaker, I told him $12 million, we couldn’t agree. He said $15 million, I said 13....he said 15, I said no deal,” said Warner.

“Mr Speaker, that same property that was going at $15 million then was bought by the Government for $230 million,” Warner said.

Warner said some $58 million was spent in repairs with $12 million alone to fix the roof. He said $7.5 million was further spent to construct a wall opposite Santa Rosa.

Warner said in addition, almost $1 million in rent was spent for a period of two years for the property before purchase. He said nearly $400 million was spent on this property when the Government, the biggest landowner in the country, could have utilised Caroni lands to build “an air-conditioned jail with TV and so on because that will come in handy in some years to come”.

Dulal-Whiteway died in December 2009 at the age of 63 after a long battle with cancer.

Warner said in 2011, he requested a meeting with Prime Minister Kamla Persad-Bissessar to raise concerns about corruption in the country and a particular minister who was demanding ten per cent from contractors.

“I took to her, Mr Speaker, incorrigible evidence of corruption where of course a minster was taking ten per cent. She told me, Mr Speaker, that it was a shock to her; she will deal with it. Mr Speaker, she did not. The ten per cent moved to 15 per cent,” he said.

Warner said he then decided to call another meeting with six ministers whom he could trust to again raise the issue but that meeting never came off as some refused to attend.

He knocked Government’s projects, pointing out that the Couva Children’s Hospital was originally earmarked for Chaguanas at a cost of $120 million but has now escalated to $1 billion.

Warner said further that there was rampant corruption at the Estate Management and Business Development Company (EMBD).

“I have evidence of corruption in EMBD that will make the airport look like a tea party,” said Warner, adding that bid-rigging was occurring at the State enterprise and he was in possession of documents to show that two persons had “false papers” at the company.

“I planned to talk about a fellah called Patch who is of course a retiree in URP but still drawing a salary and about his son, a pundit called Sat, who has been given three CEPEP contracts. They take away from a relative of mine to give him, and they give all of them food card,” Warner added.

Carolyn: Stop asking for scholarship favours

Public Administration Minister Carolyn Seeper­sad-Bachan has said there would be no corruption in the scholarship programme under her watch so her Parliament colleagues should desist from asking her for fa­vours.

She was speaking on the budget debate at the Parliament sitting at Tower D, International Wa­terfront Centre, Port of Spain, on Monday.

“I want to say to all members, many times, members of Parliament approach me and they make requests to me, saying they want help, this person missed the deadline, and I have to tell them there is absolutely nothing that I can do because the system will know if I went in to interfere,” said Seepersad-Bachan.

She said this was the benefit of e-service—it did not allow interference by anyone be­cause it would be time-stamped.

Seepersad-Bachan said a total of 1,935 scholarships were awar­ded over the last three years, and this would increase to 2,085 by the end of this month.

She said there was now in place a policy to ensure those who benef­ited from scholarships honour their commitment to give back in service to the State.

The minister said each scholarship had an evaluation framework which was published on the ministry’s website.

She said an applicant could actually go online and score themselves as

the criteria used for the interview were listed.

Seepersad-Bachan said there was no paper-based application as everything was online and pupils could actually monitor the progress of their application.

She said eve­ry scho­lar’s name was published on the website, as well as area of study and insti­tution.

Seepersad-Bachan said there was a challenge with open Govern­ment in the move to pub­lish all Government data.

She said she wanted all pupils’ scores from the interviews to also be published, but checks were being made to see if this was possible under the Data Protection Act.

“I intend that whenever we are dealing with taxpayers’ money, we must be totally accountable for public funds,” said Seepersad-Bachan.

She said the ministry had also addressed the challenge of placing scholars when they returned home, and they were now being placed within the first three months of their return.

The minister said many of the scholars stu­­dy in areas that were not in line with the development needs of the country and, now, scholarships were aligned to the interim human-resource needs listed on the website.
