THIRTY residents of Plantation Hope, Bath Settlement, West Coast Berbice are now in receipt of transports for their lands after waiting for more than 20 years.
Attorney General and Minister of Legal Affairs, Anil Nandlall, S.C., spearheaded the distribution exercise on Friday.

In a Facebook post, he explained that approximately one year ago, his ministry commenced a process to regularise the area occupied by 30 families.
“The families purchased house lots from the Guyana Sugar Corporation (GuySuCo) over two decades ago but were never issued with transports for those lands. These families have constructed their homes and are living on these lands,” he said.

Nandlall added that through the joint efforts of the Ministry of Legal Affairs, the Sugar Industry Welfare Fund (SILWIF) and the Deeds and Commercial Registry Authority (DCRA), this exercise was concluded at minimal costs to the persons affected and on Friday the “very elated families” were handed transports for these lands.
