Mark Golding Denies Interest in Coopers Pen Property

TRELAWNY, Jamaica — Opposition Leader Mark Golding has denied claims that he or Opposition spokesman on national security Peter Bunting has any direct or indirect interest in the Coopers Pen property where 20 homes were demolished this week.

Golding made the denial during a visit to the community on Thursday, where he met with displaced residents.

He described the allegations as false and said he had never visited the property before the recent controversy.

Golding said the land has been owned by New Falmouth Holdings since the 1960s and argued that some residents who have occupied the property for decades may have acquired rights through adverse possession.

He called on the Government to urgently assist those who lost their homes and negotiate with the property owners to protect residents whose homes remain at risk.

“Those who have lost their homes obviously will need to be resettled on land… in dignity and in comfort,” Golding said.
