(Jamaica Observer) Central Jamaica businessman Kenneth ‘Skeng Don’ Black has been awarded J$200 million in a default judgement by the Supreme Court against the Housing Agency of Jamaica (HAJ). Black, principal owner of Manchester-based Black Brothers Ltd, took the agency to court last year to recover money that he said was owed to him for construction work done under the previous People’s National Party (PNP) administration. Black, a mystery man whose name is well known but of whom much is not, has been a long-standing and devout PNP supporter. However, the businessman will not be able to pop the champagne bottle as yet, as the HAJ, formerly the National Housing Development Corporation, has mounted a defence and will ask the Court of Appeal to rule otherwise.
