Pro­gres­sive De­mo­c­ra­t­ic Pa­tri­ots po­lit­i­cal leader Wat­son Duke says he will on­ly sup­port San­dals Re­sorts in To­ba­go if the com­pa­ny in­vests its own mon­ey in build­ing the ho­tel and guar­an­tees high-lev­el jobs for To­bag­o­ni­ans.

As a fi­nal act for To­ba­go be­fore step­ping down, out­go­ing-Prime Min­is­ter Dr Kei­th Row­ley said dur­ing the com­mis­sion­ing of the ANR Robin­son In­ter­na­tion­al Air­port ter­mi­nal on Sat­ur­day, his on­ly re­gret was not se­cur­ing a San­dals Re­sort for the is­land and hopes to as­sist with do­ing so.

Row­ley then re­vealed that he had per­son­al­ly reached out to the San­dals own­er with a plea to take an­oth­er look at the is­land.
