BASSETERRE, St. Kitts - IT is expected that sometime today (May 13), the Hon. Sam Condor would receive advice from his lawyer on what action he should take regarding the dispute over his former Constituency Office.
The office sits on a piece of land that belongs to Captain Val Morris. And according to Condor, in the late 1980s when he was a member of the St. Kitts-Nevis Labour Party, he was given permission by Captain Morris to construct his Constituency Office there.
Having broken ranks with the SKNLP, Condor indicated that he was asked to vacate the premises to allow Konris Maynard, the SKNLP representative for that Constituency (Number Three) to occupy it.
The Parliamentary Representative for Constituency Three explained that while the land belongs to Morris, the property which sits thereon belongs to him, and that it was constructed with funds he “raised personally”.
According to Condor, letters had been exchanged between his lawyer and Morris’; the last of which was sent by Condor’s inquiring about whether Morris would sell him the land or compensate him for his property.
Condor stressed that he had found it necessary to consult with his lawyers following the May 3 incident when Morris attempted to have the locks - which secured the property - changed to prevent him from accessing it.
The situation escalated - drawing the attention of many from surrounding and other communities - and resulted in the involvement of the members of the Royal St. Christopher and Nevis Police Force.
This publication spoke to Condor this morning and he indicated that he was scheduled to meet with his lawyers, who would advise him on what action he should take regarding the Constituency Office.
During a previous interview with this publication, Condor had indicated that he would not give up the property until he is “properly compensated”.
