WILLEMSTAD - A homeowner currently building a house in the Jan Luis neighborhood has informed the media that he possesses all the necessary legal documents for the construction. He is responding to media reports alleging that he is building without a permit. According to him, there is nothing illegal about the construction of his house.
He acknowledges that a sign reading "Property of the Government" was posted on his property, instructing that construction should cease. However, he asserts that this does not disturb or hinder him. Neighbors noticed that a sign indicating the halt of construction was put up in May of this year. Despite this, construction continued a few months later while the sign remained in place.
The homeowner explains that he halted construction when the sign was first posted. After meeting all requirements and making the necessary payments, he resumed construction. He states that the sign will remain until he decides to remove it, as it does not affect him.
