The Essequibo Deeds Registry needs urgent attention

Oct 07, 2008 Letters

DEAR EDITOR,
An administrative blunder, with detrimental effects on lawyers and litigants, is facing the Essequibo Deeds Registry at Suddie in Region Two, where the passing of transports is at a standstill for an inordinate time now.

Several lawyers have conformed to the ugly situation existing for the last six months, much to their dissatisfaction, with clients to whom they have discharged their obligations still casting blame on them without their being at fault.

Aggrieved litigants have also voiced their frustration at the unfair situation, having to waste so much precious time and travelling money to just keep going there for such a protracted period, without anything positive being done.

The Registry was established to facilitate the passing of transports in the district, with the primary purpose of eliminating the hardship and inconvenience being suffered to travel all the way to the city to do as was done in the past.

But the present situation, where no useful purpose is being served from the direct neglect to maintain such an important service, leaves much to be desired, and needs to be addressed urgently.

Before this problem came about, it was explained that the Registrar of Deeds from Georgetown would travel here on a monthly basis to have the transports passed. This is now a thing of the past.

It would only be proper for someone in authority to take the necessary action forthwith in removing the predicament and to have improvements instead.
