KH: In your article you said that there was “correspondence” from the CJ to the PM but it’s not a letter and it’s not an email? DR: Correct. It’s a message. I did not see any response from the PM… DR: I contacted several persons named in the email. I was not able to contact all of them as some of the numbers were not in service. The persons who I did contact confirmed they received houses and they got them through Romero but they did not want to be named. There’s supposed to be a list published by the HDC which shows two people who received houses as having been recommended by the CJ. I have a copy of the list. Based on my investigation there are more than two who were actually fast tracked by him but they are listed as having been recommended by someone else. DM: On what basis are you saying that these persons were “fast tracked”? DR: Based on documents I have seen. The initial dates of these people’s applications and the dates on which they received housing. When you look at the HDC system there is a prolonged timeframe from application to actually getting housing…based on who you know. I’m concluding from what I’ve seen that these persons were fast tracked. You can also ask HDC for the List. TH: But it will only show two persons being recommended by the CJ? DR: Correct. TH: Did Huggins get a house? DR: The Huggins guy, his aunt Carol and the Coastguardsman did not get their houses. … DM: You are reporting on a conversation between the CJ and a Senior Manager at HDC, did you confirm with the Senior Manager? DR: The Senior Manager confirmed that the CJ had contacted them at least twice to enquire about houses for people. DM: Do you know when these calls by the CJ to the Senior Manager were made? 30
