I am a resident of Linden and was at the One-stop-shop programme held in Linden. I stand here as a witness that the programme was free and fair regardless of race; black, yellow, red or blue, everyone had to follow instructions. One of the PNCR female councillors got preference for teachers in Region 10 who received great coverage. Why not write about the positive aspects of the programme, instead of just the negative which was few. Now let us look at the overseas-based Guyanese who are accused of being issued house lots. How could we ‘Lindeners’ forget the times when the region had two number bags (to collect a house lot number), one for overseas persons and the other for ‘whoever’ and another point to note is when you are a PPP your application gets lost and there are past regional officials still selling lands. So let us remember that we never had a free and fair distribution of house lots in Linden, this is the first time ever such cooperation, swiftness and justice has been allowed. When we are looking at properly prepared lands for allocation, let us remember that surveying of those lands was done by past influence. However, I wish that the government would conduct some of these works via Georgetown, because if we continue to utilise the present individuals the only results would be confusion. Congratulations to the Minister and his Ministry for the good work that they have done and we sincerely hope that the process continues with a fruitful outcome.
