PNM Tobago Council political leader Ancil Dennis believes the current THA administration is waiting until the January 12 THA elections have passed before pulling the trigger on a deal with a private developer at No Man's Land.

THA Chief Secretary Farley Augustine has denied the accusation, insisting that the THA was approached by the developer with a plan to enhance No Man's Land for vendors at no cost to the Assembly. Augustine said he told the developer to speak to the vendors and then submit a proposal.

Dennis, the PNM candidate for Buccoo/ Mt Pleasant, expressed scepticism that a businessman would undertake such a project without wanting something in return.
