It is very unfortunate that Factories Corporation of Jamaica Limited, FCJ must publicly defend itself against one of our clients. It is not the practice of the organisation to publicly discuss our clients’ affairs.
However, when the former client has taken it upon himself to go public with information that is erroneous, deceptive and libelous then FCJ has no other option but to go to the press to defend our self and bring clarity.
FCJ has worked very hard over the years to maintain transparency and accountability. As an enabler and facilitator of businesses, FCJ ensures that all attempts are made to facilitate and support business survival.
Following the publishing of the Gleaner news article dated Sunday October 3, we have asked our attorney, DunnCox, who has conduct of the Cars-to-Go matter to provide a response to us on the Gleaner article. (Please see the attached response, which chronologically outlines the sequence of events.)
Notwithstanding this response, the former client, knowing very well that he was notified that he no longer has a formal lease arrangement with FCJ, took it up on his own to go to the property, which is now under contract for lease and placed a padlock on the entrance to the facility, locking out the existing client. This we considered a criminal act.
The police were immediately notified after the former client’s action. We await legal advice on our next course of action.
