Pan Trinbago avoids eviction

Even be­fore the new Pan Trin­ba­go ex­ec­u­tive of­fi­cial­ly as­sumed du­ties on Wednes­day, they were is­sued their first tri­al— set­tle their out­stand­ing rent bill of over $250,000 or face evic­tion.

“We en­tered the premis­es of Pan Trin­ba­go this morn­ing and this first chal­lenge this ex­ec­u­tive will have to face is a let­ter that we re­ceived from Amar Prop­er­ties De­vel­op­ers lim­it­ed,” said pres­i­dent Bev­er­ley Ram­sey-Moore at Pan Trin­ba­go’s of­fice, op­po­site Vic­to­ria Square, in Port-of-Spain, fol­low­ing a hand­ing over cer­e­mo­ny from the pre­vi­ous ex­ec­u­tive.

Ram­sey-Moore be­lieved the tim­ing of the no­tice is linked to Robert Amar’s de­feat in Sun­day’s elec­tion.

Amar was an in­de­pen­dent can­di­date for the Pan Trin­ba­go pres­i­den­cy. He man­aged to gain 19 votes in Sat­ur­day’s elec­tion.

“We are not alarmed be­cause we sus­pect­ed the pain of de­feat would have sur­faced. I ex­pect­ed that Mr Amar, a man who would have of­fered him­self just about two or three days to be elect­ed pres­i­dent of Pan Trin­ba­go would have done the ho­n­ourable thing and sit and have a dis­cus­sion with us as an ex­ec­u­tive so we could all put our hands on the wheel to take Pan Trin­ba­go by its boot­straps and take it to an­oth­er lev­el,” said Ram­sey-Moore.

How­ev­er, Guardian Me­dia learnt the build­ing was not owned by Robert Amar, but rather his broth­er, Ricky Amar.
