‘Not fair’

UNFAIR.

That is how business magnate Ralph “Bizzy” Williams has reacted to yesterday’s news the Canadian-based Deltro Group had been given approval from the Town and Country Planning Department to operate a solar panel manufacturing plant on the Trans-Tech site at Kendal Hill, Christ Church, and a 70-acre solar farm in Waterford, St Michael.

“It’s quite obvious that I would think it seems to me to be unfair, but nobody elected me to run Barbados. So who’s running it would know why they gave the people the approval to put photovoltaics on Government land, when Barbadians could have done it,” he told the DAILY NATION.

He did not seem enthused at the fact that chief financial officer of the Deltro Group, Dean Del Mastro, insisted that both companies were Barbadian and would create employment for locals. (YB)
