It was Rhyan Henry who first reported planning breaches at the Charlemont Drive housing development
The University & Allied Workers Union [UAWU] has called for the immediate reinstatement of Rhyan Henry at the National Environment & Planning Agency [NEPA].
Mr Henry was placed on interdiction, with a loss of 20 per cent of his salary, to facilitate a disciplinary investigation into an allegation of gross misconduct.
The building inspector was the first to flag breaches detected at the controversial Charlemont housing development in St Andrew, undertaken Mark Barnett, President of the state-owned National Water Commission, and his wife.
Mr Henry observed, during his seventh visit to the project site on December 17, 2020, that the layout of the apartment complex had deviated from the drawings that were approved, received and date-stamped by the regulatory body on July 3, 2019.
In UAWU, in a letter to NEPA, charged that, given that there is neither a disciplinary nor criminal proceeding against Mr Henry, the interdiction is unlawful as it is an abuse of process and is oppressive. Additionally, the reduction in salary has been deemed a breach of the law.
The union has called for the interdiction to be rescinded and the reinstatement of Mr Henry to his proper status as an active employee of the agency on full pay.
