THE newly-sworn in Minister within the Ministry of Communities Valerie Adams-Patterson is aiming for persons who have completed paying for their house lots to have their legal instrument three months after, without unnecessary delay. Ms Patterson has replaced Minister Keith Scott who has been moved to the Ministry of Social Protection.
She shared this vision after taking the oath of office yesterday in front of President David Granger at the Ministry of Presidency. Attending the ceremony were Prime Minister Moses Nagamootoo, Minister of State Joseph Harmon, Minister Keith Scott, along with relatives.
The Minister who is responsible for Housing said she intended to shake up the Housing Department and make it better prepared to respond to the needs of Guyanese.
“I am promising the people of Guyana that better will come and some of the objectives that we have and want to see become a reality will happen. My personal ambition is to see that when a member of the public applies for a house lot and once he has completed paying for the house lot with three months he should have his legal instrument in his hand. I know it can happen and we will make it happen,” the new Minister explained.
The former CEO of Linden Economic Arm (LEN) said based on the confidence President Granger has placed in her she would work even harder while pushing for the house lot matters to be dealt with expeditiously.
Minister Patterson, who is also the Member of Parliament for Region 10 also said she intends to tackle the long backlog of house lot applications.
Meanwhile, President Granger noted that Ms. Patterson had considerable knowledge and experience in the area of administration and management which was the driving force behind his decision to make her a Minister within the government and a member of the cabinet.
The Head of State said the new Minister’s special skills in dealing with various issues would greatly assist her new portfolio.
