OVER 100 Guyanese saw their housing issues being addressed by Junior Minister of Communities, Valerie Adams-Yearwood and other officials on Wednesday during the hosting of a Public Day at the Minister’s Secretariat.

Most persons came desirous of house lots and the minister was able to allocate lots at Cornelia Ida, Cummings Lodge and Mon Repos.

“My plan was just to see about 70 persons which I consider a great amount of persons to see in one day. However, I was able to deal with that number at about one thirty and we still have probably close to 100 persons outside waiting and I am going to see as much as possible how many of them I can accommodate,” she said, adding:
“It’s [difficult] to see that persons still have applications in the system dated 1995 and 1997 and 2002. On previous occasions, I’ve mentioned via the media about how many thousands of applications we have in the system that we met when we took office in 2015. But we’ve tried as much as possible, every piece of land that we develop, to have it fully allocated.”

Communities Valerie Adams-Yearwood in her office on Wednesday

However, the challenge is that if the Central Planning and Housing Authority (CHPA) is to deal only with old applications, younger persons who may have applied in years like 2016 would have to wait years before they can acquire house lots.

“I have to strike a balance and I have to accommodate persons from the old, way back and allocations that are new. I want to encourage our young people to start having their own homes so we have to consider applicants [past] 2015…but we also have to cater for those beyond,” Minister Adams-Yearwood said.

She added that she is proud to say that most of the qualified persons allocated CHPA’s housing units under the current administration are young, professional people looking to start families.

During her observations, she realised that most persons were desirous of receiving lots on the East Bank of Demerara and Central Georgetown but CHPA has no house lots in Central Georgetown.

Others, she said, didn’t mind getting lands in Cummings Lodge which they consider to be in proximity to the town.

However, few were enthusiastic about lands in Cornelia Ida as some expressed they had never even been over to the West Bank of Demerara.

“That is a major challenge that we’ll have to really look at and government will have to look at that also and see how we can carry more development to Region Three, because there is where we have access to most of the house lots right now,” she said.

She also emphasised on the government’s plan to build a new bridge across the Demerara River which she believes will increase business and interest in the West Demerara region.
“The issue of the bridge in the morning and in the afternoon is a major challenge and persons will say that they’re working in Georgetown; have their children schooled in Georgetown and they have to leave –if they’re living across the river— 5 or 5:30 in the morning and they get back home at nights,” she said. “It’s something we have to look at and I know the new bridge will bring a great ease to the residents of Region Three.”
Minister Adams-Yearwood said that while everyday can turn out to be “public day” at the office, she was delighted to have the special day set aside to answer to the housing-related matters and other concerns of citizens.

She indicated that the public day will now be repeated every two weeks.

Stop your filthy lie, show PROOF.

Keep on with your hysteria.   The PPP did what it did I dont care whether you are honest enough to admit this or not.

Now show proof that the only motivation for the PNC house lot distribution is to buy votes!

PPP did the same thing

They gave house lots but not for votes. Many of those who received house lots voted for the coalition.  And many more did not vote.

Carib is Master Liar.

Stupid nonsense.  People vote ethnic regardless.  So tell us who lose house lots.  Must be nuff Blacks!  Easy to identify!

The PPP usually go to funerals to make political statements. If that's not desperation to get votes, what else is? Folks, please change your mindset about politics. PNC/PPP are both liars and cheat. Give me something as to why we should hold one over the other? Let's practice telling the truth for a change.

Nothing wrong with giving Guyanese house lots but the timing is what makes people suspicious. We have enough land and every Guyanese should be entitled to a lil piece of land to build a house and plant a lil kitchen garden. 

It’s amazing how Carib posts lies and misinformation. He likes to pelt bricks.

Was the timing right when Jagdeo told the unemployed sugar workers that he will pay them stipends "if he wins the election"? In other words, if he loses the election, the sugar workers hope/promise remain unfulfilled. To add, should we consider this a PPP tactic to get the sugar workers votes?

Do you know there was a sugar levy impose on the sugar workers that supposed to be paid to them . This levy was then used to sustain Bauxite workers and public servant. 

The sugar industry was the backbone of Guyana economy. 

In reality, majority of Indians paid out of their pocket ( depriving their children a good life ) to feed Linden ( mostly Afro. 

The sugar workers is owed $85M US.

The PPP did so as an election promise fulfilled.  The PNC as a care taker

government cannot use government resources as an election inducement.

After all these years of schooling you it seems that you have ignored the lesson on ethics that I so painstakingly hammered into your head.  Look how you blatantly lie about this claim. Where is this documented? What is your source? Did I fail you as a teacher?

The fact that they didn't get the votes doesn't mean that they didn't try.  They told people that if they didn't vote PPP they would lose the lots.  People told this to APNU/AFC.

If the PPP set the precedent for this behavior the PPP can do as it wishes.

Its Jagdeo who wanted an early election and he mightn't get it so too bad for him.

The priority should have been a new constitution.  Now why isn't the PPP working to rid Guyana of a constitution installed by Burnham as a result of a blatantly rigged election?

Could you please elaborate how the PPP would have gone about taking back house lots from the mostly Afro beneficiaries?   

Do you think the PPP are so stupid to tell blacks vote PPP or else?   In today’s days of concealed mics and cameras, provide one proof that such occurred!!

You are a pathological liar 🤥!!

The PPP could have invented any scam to snatch land from these people.  Stealing property from poor people in Guyana is done regularly. 

And people who are already afraid of the PPP easier yet. Its amazing how little it will take for some clerk to lose someones title and then claim that whatever they have is fake. 

And yes the PPP did attempt to frighten black people by telling them to vote PPP.... or else.   People with house lots, some senior black civil servants, and anyone vulnerable to PPP vengeance.  It really doesn't matter whether you chose to believe this or not. 

 

Just now you will tell me that most PPP exec committee really wanted to upset poor Bibi, and send her weeping by selecting Irfaan.  Same intimidation tactics!  Jagdeo is famous for that.

Stick to your lies that the PPP threatened people to vote PPP or they lose their house lots.  Stop dancing around like a headless chicken!

 The People’s National Congress (PNC) dictatorship imposed a tax levy on sugar profits that were supposed to be shared by the sugar workers. The sugar levy yielded tens of millions of US dollars that were included in the Government’s national annual budget; these were used to subsidise the money losing bauxite industry. It is well established and penned in the media that the communities where sugar workers resided were neglected and marginalised by the PNC to the benefit of PNC supporters including the communities where the bauxite workers lived.
