Tenants challenge Govt.’s repossession bid of the First Federation Building
The Guyana Government has moved to repossess the First Federation Building which for decades served as offices for several prominent Attorneys-at-Law.
Occupants of the building, which also houses a private school, have been issued notices to remove by October 1, but lawyers have since challenged the move.
Kaieteur News understands that several of the Attorneys, with offices in the building, have already commenced filing injunctions to stay the eviction notices.
The First Federation Building
This publication visited the building yesterday where several occupants of the building were clearly distraught. There were speculations that the building has already been sold.
Attorney General, Anil Nandlall, who is currently overseas, confirmed that Government through the Ministry of Legal Affairs has moved to repossess the building.
Nandlall, the Minister of Legal Affairs, explained that the building will be used to provide expanded judicial services.
According to the Attorney General, the building is being managed through the “Public Trustee”, an organ of his Ministry.
He explained that the move to repossess is but a first phase given that there will have to be an assessment.
He did not rule out the possibility of the structure being demolished but a decision on its physical fate has not yet been concluded.
The building will be used to house a number of critical offices in the judicial system including several registries.
These include the Land, Deeds and Corporate, among other departments.
