Trevor Myke Walker is a Barbudan politician, current member of parliament for Barbuda, and former Cabinet Minister under the Baldwin Spencer administration.
Walker later made a return to parliament following the 2018 snap election that followed Hurricane Irma and produced a significant victory for the Barbuda People's Movement.
Claimants in the case, including John Mussington, Trevor Walker, Devon Warner, and Lilrose Burton, sought permission to begin judicial review and an interim injunction restraining the government from proceeding with the passage of the law.
The judge referred to a precedent-setting decision made by the Privy Council in the United Kingdom, which held that the court should, to the greatest extent possible, refrain from interfering with the pre-enactment legislative process.
Importantly, the court determined that the plan referred to by the Prime Minister is for the people of Barbuda to be given free-hold title and for the government to make arrangements for mortgages for those who want them.
Members of the Council who are affiliated with the Barbuda People's Movement have stated that they have no objections to the NODS official using the building as a temporary place of employment and that they have no problem with the arrangement.
Browne stated that he and his minister desired to talk about it when they were invited to a meeting at the American University of Antigua campus following Hurricane Irma in the past year.
Additionally, the ABLP has argued on multiple occasions that freehold ownership is more advantageous for Barbudans because it will allow them to apply for loans to rebuild their homes.
[13][14] It was announced in May 2018 that employees of the Barbuda Council who do not return to the sister island to participate in the reconstruction process will be terminated from their positions after a predetermined amount of time has passed.
In addition to this, he went a step further and announced that the revenue from the sand mining industry, which is currently helping to subsidize Dove Cove operations in Antigua, will soon no longer be available.
The member of parliament from Barbuda stated that he just recently came across this information after conducting investigations into the expenditure of the money made from sand mining for a number of months.
According to Walker's declaration, "as soon as this Council is established, we are going to make a decision immediately to stop it, and people have to tell us who gave them the authority to send that money to Dove Cove."
Walker also disclosed that the Antigua and Barbuda Labour Party (ABLP) allowances that were just recently approved will be subject to review by the new council that has been appointed.
On election day, the polls opened promptly at seven in the morning at Sir McChesney George Secondary School (SMSS), which is located in the Indigo neighborhood of Codrington.
