Dear Editor,
One more year has passed after Hurricane Irma and no sign of the Towers being able to open again.
Towers management seems to be in the hands of Clarence Derby, an emissary of Mr. Ansary, the same person who controls the Ennia insurance company. This insurance company was supposed to have covered property damage but seems to be insolvent. Clearly no one is defending the interests of the timeshare owners who are in practice expropriated.
Why haven’t the authorities stepped in?
The only thing timeshare owners are now there for is to pay maintenance fees, for nothing in return.
If they don’t pay, they could well lose their contractual rights to their share of the property.
Ansary should be the one to lose his rights under the circumstances, not the timeshare owners.
The representatives of Ansary, in particular the Towers’ senior management, should at minimum be sent packing, if not held responsible for mismanagement, to be substituted by government-appointed management, or a liquidator.
The whole situation is unbecoming of an island state wishing to attract tourism. What a sorry plight!
