Episode Details

The PNP is sounding the alarm over the demolition of homes in Coopers Pen, calling it a humanitarian disaster that has displaced elderly residents, mothers, and children—many now living in hurricane-era tents they say aren’t a long-term fix. Opposition Leader Mark Golding demands permanent housing solutions and an investigation into how land rights are being enforced against vulnerable communities across Trelawny and beyond. They argue the government has the legal tools and resources to act, citing a 1977 act that protects residents facing forced removal—and reject claims of ignorance, insisting state involvement means officials should have known and acted. The party insists that even under private property rights, human dignity must be upheld as guaranteed by the Charter of Fundamental Rights and Freedoms, and warns unconstitutional actions will not be tolerated. With hurricane season ongoing and recovery still underway, they stress that temporary shelters won’t cut it—real, humane solutions are urgently needed.
