The representative of the twin islands, North and Middle Caicos, and Minister of Immigration and Border Services for the ruling Progressive National Party Government, the Honourable Arlington Musgrove, condemns the latest attack on his community, as being sinister and counterproductive to the forward motion that his government is making in the development of the sister islands’ economies.
Last evening the Bambara Beach Huts fell victim to what is widely believed to be an act of arson. The huts were destroyed in a blaze on the popular Middle Caicos Beach, which saw swarms of partygoers descending for the annual Valentine’s Day Boat races each year and again just this past February.
While much cannot be said concerning this incident due to it being the focus of an active investigation led by the Royal Turks and Caicos Islands Police Force, the North Caicos native, Hon. Musgrove noted his disappointment, remarking that, “It’s a sad day when we cannot appreciate the heritage of this country and respect the people’s right to enjoy the treasures of it’s history.
“Bambara Beach has been home to many festivals over the years and continues to be a main attraction for the many tourists who visit this beautiful island.
“I hope that those responsible will be uncovered and brought to justice.
“To the people of Middle Caicos and especially the settlement of Bambara, I say do not worry, we will build our beach huts back.”
