[UPDATED] Chief Sec: THA was clear about subsidised land

Chief Secretary Ancil Dennis has defended the Tobago House of Assembly (THA) after calypsonian Alex “Tobago Chalkie” Gift threatened legal action over access to a parcel of land at the Shirvan Road Development.
Gift was one of the residents affected by the ANR Robinson International Airport expansion project.
The calypsonian said he was offered the land by the THA as part of the compensation package after the State acquired his land for the project.
He maintains he was given permission to begin construction there since September by an agent/servant of the Airport Relocation Committee (ARC), and did so.
