Tevaughn \u201cPeter Redz” Harriette condemns the Development Control Authority (DCA) for the \u201csevere action\u201d it took in demolishing the business place of several Parham youth last weekend.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

 <\/p>\n

Harriette says he is also \u201cvery disappointed with the Prime Minister\u2019s remarks about the situation \u2013 and those who are making the issue political without genuinely having the youth\u2019s interest at heart.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u201cIf, indeed, the youngsters broke the law, I\u2019m calling on the DCA to act swiftly with others that we see [doing so] daily across Antigua. Make it a level playing field!\u201d he says.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>
\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

 <\/p>\n

Harriette is the United Progressive Party\u2019s Candidate for St. Peter and a resident of the village. He reports that, so far, he has had discussions on the matter with a DCA representative and remains in contact with the youth and their families, keeping them up to date with his efforts.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

 <\/p>\n

In terms of \u201coffering comfort and guidance as to the next step,\u201d Harriette says, \u201cI\u2019ve organized a meeting for today, January 18th, with a DCA representative.\u201d<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Coming out of that meeting, he says, he will actively \u201cseek funding to help the boys rebuild their property at whatever location they decide.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u201cI will also offer any support I can when the process of rebuilding takes place \u2013 whether it be man power or an attorney-at-law to provide assistance and understanding of the legislation, to make it clear what they can and cannot do<\/p>\n

\u2013 and\/or offer substantial financial assistance.\u201d<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

 <\/p>\n

Going further, Harriette declares: \u201cThe boys, their families and I do not want it to be political!<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u201cThis is personal for me. I grew up with the boys, so I\u2019ve known them for years. I feel their pain and I want to advocate for them,\u201d he says.<\/p>\n
