CLARIFICATION:<\/strong><\/p>

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

ABS’ earlier post regarding the ground-breaking event for the Nikki Beach Resort on Thursday outlined some of the officials present at the ceremony. It did not intend to identify all the officials in the photograph accompanying the story; the photograph was not captioned.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Some readers have since misconstrued the absence of references to the Governor General’s Deputy, Sir Clare Roberts, and Member of Parliament for St Mary’s South, Hon. Kelvin Simon in the original story, as tendentious.<\/p>

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

There were no such malign motives. ABS regrets any such implications and apologizes to both gentlemen.<\/p>
