'Speak the Truth!’ L. Allen Wheatley blasts Hon Penn for claiming Hawk’s Nest road project
Wheatley in a WhatsApp voice note circular today, Saturday, March 18, 2023, claimed that he was the one who envisioned the project and realised its possibilities after being told it was not possible.
Road was part of a major road network plan - Wheatley
“Hawk’s Nest Road was part of a grant plan, to open up the northern road to give an alternative, as opposed to having to go to Cane Garden Bay,” Wheatly said.
“When hurricane Irma came and Cane Garden Bay was shut down, we were able to do tours either in the south and north and end up on Long Bay Beach,” he added.
During a recent debate, Hon Penn when asked about his accomplishment in Government and Politics had listed the Hawk's Nest Road as one of his accomplishments; however, Mr Wheatley is disputing this.
Wheatley further added that the lack of economic activity in Long Bay Beach came as a result of a ‘block’ from the NDP who stopped projects that would have boosted the areas.
NDP did not build Hawk's Nest road - Whealtey
“Y'all [NDP] did not do the Hawk’s Nest Road, y’all did not interconnect the northern highway, the whole Ridge Road network was all VIP and most of it was done in my time as the FS,” he added.
Mr Wheatley called on Hon Penn to ‘Speak the truth’ and reiterated that Hon Penn nor the NDP had anything to do with the project.
“Stop claiming what you did not do... Find something that you actually did and talk about it, because every time you claim something of mine, I will shut you down,” Mr Wheatley warned.

politics is a very serious undertaking therefore those on stage needs to grow up because the future of these lands are at stake so when i vote for you what will you do(want to hear these mandates
What a backwards place.
Tell them that from time Ralph joined the VIP it has been one scandal after the next from the time he was Deputy Chief Minister. But you all are his bad eggs hatching so you all will praise him. When that college that your father managed was been built and created Lavity and Lorna were out on a limb by themselves where a lot of you all were laughing saying it could never happen.
Sir, there are big issues and problems and you taking about who claim what, credit for what! It does not matter in my books, who do what, get it done it all that’s matters. You just lost 13 votes. Next
