They should have leased the land instead of wanting to squat on it.
True!
If the man owns the land and he wants you to leave, you must simply respect his wishes and leave. Nothing in life is free. Him being a politician, or even wealthy, doesn’t disentitle him to his land. You made your money from the venture and now it’s time to go. So go and stop making a fuss.
Interesting Land owner.
Purnell is very clever …I heard about this before …mmmm…u kno wen u dont have the financial means to fight it’s quite sad that people love tek tings that dont belong to them and bcos u dont have the means to fight u cant do ah ting…sad …
Everybody wants to us badness to do as they please. Regardless of how Mr Charles acquired the property is besides the point. If he owns the land he owns the land. Jamaica is suffering from a serious case of ENVY. Remember that’s one of the seven deadly sin.
Pearnel Charles is such good man. Whatever I achieve in this man give the opportunity I remember going to his office in Kingston the ministry of labor and he said I like when young people ask me for job not money because I give today u are going to want tomorrow.

It is not a good statement for an MP to make about poor people who have cut his cane and others and have been impoverished by cutting cane for generations.
@Beverley Smith you have no idea how THIS MAN WORK HARD
to have what he has, NIGHTLEST
SLEEP he has. SOME times his wife and children’s don’t see him for day ,because he knew that he want for himself and his family .Please leave Mr. Charles a lone, PEOPL born and grown up in that parish .And they didn’t see what he see,if Mr Charles didn’t buy that piece of property my uncles would get that place.I
If 🙏
@Veronica Gray You obviously miss the point I am trying to make. The injustices meted out to the people of eastern St.Thomas over the years has been considerable.
The land occupation is what the people are use to as they have lived on the edges of Sugar Estates for generations and planted their grounds, built their houses, small shops on Sugar Estate lands.
This type of land occupation was laid down long before Pernal Charles was born. The poor did not have the opportunity to fight in a court of law for rights such as adverse possession, due to their low income levels.
Today the whole situation has become exsaserbated by Covid -19, lockdowns, the current global economic/financial crises which is impacting JA and the lack of opportunity for land purchase or ownership, employment and or income generating opportunities amongst the poor in the East and this is what is causing the problem.
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
The MP has a point. When these people eat drink & make merry, where do they defficate & pass off other wastes? These young people just want to find the easy way out.
Yes man..
Rich with so much land , and can’t even give some sufferers a chance to survive. I want to see him carry it with him when the good lord calls him home.
