Mocha residents raise land titling issues, poor roads with Harmon
The issue of land titles at Mocha/Arcadia, East Bank Demerara was once again highlighted as members of Neighbourhood Democratic Council (NDC) on Friday met with Minister of State, Joseph Harmon, to discuss

matters of critical importance to the development of the community.
Residents of the East Bank Demerara community, including Chairman of the (NDC), Rudolph Adams, expressed concern about access to electricity and water, and the dilapidated roads during the meeting at the Ministry of the Presidency.
Several residents said, however, that the most pressing issue for them is land titling. Minister Harmon noted the issue has been raised before and the Guyana Lands and Surveys Commission (GLSC) has been instructed to take a team into the community to find a solution.
“The new Chief Executive Officer (CEO), Trevor Benn, is aware of the situation and will be visiting the community shortly. I will also meet with the representatives of the various agencies with responsibility for the services needed and discuss what can be done,” Minister Harmon stated.
Adams also noted that some of the roads in the area are in a deplorable state, while many of the streets lack lights. Access to potable water and proper drainage systems are also concerns for the community.
At the end of the brief meeting, Minister Harmon pledged to convene a meeting, by the end of next week, with the Ministries of Communities and Public Infrastructure, the Guyana Water Incorporated, the National Drainage and Irrigation Authority and the GLSC to discuss the challenges with the view of finding speedy resolutions.
