People have to wait for years for lands they applied for

Oct 28, 2015 Letters

Dear Editor,
Guyana is the land of many waters and it also has land. Thus citizens are fighting to acquire land and water, and the people of the land have to wait days and years before they acquire either the land they applied for or means of water. Have you taken a look at our capital city? Lots of land and areas are covered by bushes forming a forest.  Meanwhile companies and organizations are acquiring and receiving and aren’t making use of the acres of land they receive, and citizens who have lands and aren’t making use of it due to financial stability are losing possession after a certain time or period. On the other hand isn’t it wise to facilitate the need of the citizens who live to be taxed? Companies should have a smaller time span in acquiring land. As I was coming to town on 26th October, 2015 at 7:45 approximately 15 minutes, my father decided to take a drive on Mandela Avenue just after the Cliff Anderson Sports Hall. Opposite the Cultural Centre are lots of vacant lands that forest are now forming. I am not saying that both sides could be used but it can be useful; that’s just an example. Can’t those land spaces be occupied after all people have no choice but to live in range house, families yard and some still with parents helping to move up or outwards meaning ‘to extend in any means’. Should this be so? After all we pay tax don’t we at least deserve to get what we want when we want at least once?
