WITH AN estimated $5 million in materials and equipment now removed from the site of the controversial church project at the Heights of Guanapo, Attorney General Anand Ramlogan yesterday said he was \u201cmad, upset and vex\u201d in the wake of what he described as the \u201cwanton looting\u201d of the building which led to its collapse on Wednesday.
\n
\nA fuming Ramlogan hit out at Acting Commissioner of Police (CoP) James Philbert and the Integrity Commission, both state entities which are constitutionally independent of the Executive, for their apparent failure to secure the site of the Lighthouse of Our Lord Jesus Christ church in the wake of reports of looting which dated back since early June.<\/p>\n

The church, up until that month, was being constructed by Chinese contractor Shanghai Construction Group (SCG) in the name of the spiritual adviser to former Prime Minister Patrick Manning, Rev Juliana Pena.

Express Editorial
\nJune 29, 2010 – trinidadexpress.com<\/a><\/i> <\/p>\n

THE reported outrage expressed by Attorney General Anand Ramlogan over the lack of security at the controversial church construction site in the Heights of Guanapo appears misplaced. Mr Ramlogan had called more than a week ago for the construction materials at the site to be secured in the face of investigations into the project.<\/p>\n

Both the police and the Integrity Commission have launched separate probes into this project, the latter in response to a complaint filed by Devant Maharaj head of the IndoTrinbagonian Equality Council. The investigations arose from allegations concerning the involvement of State corporation UDeCOTT, its former chairman Calder Hart, and of former prime minister Patrick Manning.<\/p>\n

Again over the weekend, unauthorised persons moved onto the site, removing galvanised sheets and large quantities of steel scaffolding.
