The Tunapuna/Piarco Regional Corporation is planning to stop construction of the controversial church on the Heights of Guanapo, in Arima. The church is linked to Prime Minister Patrick Manning’s spiritual adviser, Reverend Juliana Pena. A report in Friday's Trinidad Guardian quotes the corporation's Chief Executive officer, Winifred David as saying that officials would give contractors building The Light of the Light House of the Lord Jesus Christ seven days to explain why they are continuing construction of the building without approval.
“The usual procedure is to give them notice, asking them why the development is continuing...after that there is a process of seven days, if they do not stop the work, we then come back to council and get an order for demolition,” the paper quoted David as saying on Thursday.
David told the paper officials would deliver the notice at the site of the project before the end of the month.
"I have a person who has to report it to me and when I get that document, I will sign off on it,” she told the paper.
David explained that the corporation has so far received no documentation from the Town and Country Planning Division for the construction of the church. She explained that the corporation gives final approval to go ahead and build, based on the recommendation from Town and Country.
She told the paper she is not unable to say if officials at the Town and Country Planning Division have any documents relating to the project.

It amases me how these people seem to believe that they can continue to fool the peopl e, suddenly they have realised that no approvals were grated for this project. But this is but simply a move to save face, considering the media investigations that have revealed details of mismanagement by the state yet again. But this is just going to be sorted out and this "threat" of shut down would never materialise, the PNM would simply "fix" the problem and the church would be built at tax payers expense, and at the cost of roads, drainage, community centers, recreation facilities, etc etc etc.
