TUCBER Park Co-op Society Chairman, Maxine Williams is calling on Attorney General, Basil Williams to investigate alleged corrupt practices of some officers employed at the Berbice High Court.

The call comes in wake of a whistleblower’s report that some staffers of the Supreme Court in New Amsterdam are moving to possess lands within the Tucber Co-op Society.
Williams believes that an audit should be done with respect to all the lands which were given out in recent times, by prescriptive rights, to members of the court staff and their families.

The Tucber Co-op Society is the holder of the transport #872 of 1965, which covers the ownership of lands that court staffers have been filing for prescriptive rights, Williams told the Guyana Chronicle.

Due to the death of the co-op’s secretary, there was a period of dormancy, but the society is now organising elections for new office bearers, in an effort to move forward.
According to Williams, at the beginning of last week, a whistleblower called and informed her of some petitions before the Berbice High Court with regards to prescriptive rights involving two members of the Supreme Court in New Amsterdam.
Copies of the petition with regards to two portions of lands at Lots 340 and 342 Tucber Park were seen by this reporter.

The portions of lands were allocated to society members who are residents overseas and are in receipt of their proof of payments.

Most recently, Williams noted that a member came from overseas to deal with one of the matters on behalf of her cousin, but the power of attorney subsequently died, leaving that arrangements hanging. However, efforts were made to clear and prepare the land by relatives of two persons, namely, Tessa Albert and Winston Bynoe.

Members of the society were contacted via social media to get residents involved in checking, to ensure that the lands allocated to them, is still owned by them.
Meanwhile, Wendy Benjamin, who is looking into the interest of Tessa Albert , said, it was last Wednesday that she was informed that court staffers were using their position and knowledge to be possessor of the lands, which remains unoccupied .

There are reports of similar cases in New Amsterdam. Attorney Ramesh Rajkumar, who is representing the society, confirmed that the lands are owned by the society and legal steps will be taken to repossess the unmovable properties.
