Minister of Planning and Development Dr William Duguid has dismissed accusations of corruption in the stateowned Home Ownership Providing Energy Inc. (HOPE) project.

The Senior Minister also said Government had “done a tremendous amount of houses” even though not achieving the targeted number.

He was responding to statements from Opposition Leader Ralph Thorne yesterday in the House of Assembly during debate on the rescinding of a resolution to approve the vesting of two parcels of land at Sargeant’s Village, Christ Church.

The former Minister of Housing called Thorne’s statements alleging corruption within HOPE Inc., including some people being enriched, “absolute nonsense”.
