Assets Recovery Unit needs to investigate these Region 2 land sales

Oct 22, 2015 Letters

Dear Editor,
Just before May elections prime properties in Region Two were given to rich PPP/C loyalists for under market value. Prime property in Anna Regina next to the Republic Bank which was reserved for sea defense access – for trucks and heavy machinery to do maintenance- were sold to a wealthy supporter of the last government. Editor, this state reserve is still needed for access but was sold in a sweetheart deal disregarding the needs of other residents. In another instance, twenty five acres at the Onderneeming sand pit was sold to another rich businessman for a small price on May 8, three days before elections. Editor these are two examples of questionable financial transactions that the State Assets Recovery Unit (SARU) needs to look at urgently. These individuals have started to develop/exploit these prime lands and should be stopped by injunctions until these lands are recovered for the benefit of all residents. SARU needs to step in, investigate and recover these and other lands and assets sold unfairly as patronage in corrupt deals. A good place to start is at the Lands and Surveys office in Anna Regina.
