House lots are not the end

Mar 13, 2013 Letters

 

 

Dear Editor,

I was offered a house lot in Good Hope new phase on East Coast Demerara. There is only one entrance leading to the new scheme. The roads are despicable with numerous pot holes. Part of the village road was maintained and nothing was done to other streets.
I feel like I have no voice or nowhere to turn to. I’m frustrated; I am disgusted with Government representatives going on record in the print and electronic media about the massive housing projects that is taking place across the country, and what the government is doing for people. But if you visit these areas you will see that nothing is being done to encourage young people to stay in this country.
I admit that I voted for PPP in 2011, didn’t expect or want a free hand out, but if this is how you will be treated as a young Guyanese, it is unbelievable.
I wanted to emphasize that point because if you write and criticize the PPP Government you are termed as opposition. Getting the house lot was so taxing; the house lot wasn’t in any way cheap, it cost $400,000. Now that I want to begin construction and move my family into our own new home I can’t take my family  to an area that is lacking basic resources for a normal life.
Michael Sam
