Residents of Logwood, Enmore, East Coast Demerara, are up in arms over what is being described as an extension of the lawlessness that is taking place in Guyana.
At issue is the taking over of the area’s playfield by a contractor, a situation that is not dissimilar to one in Subryanville that is engaging the Minister of Labour.
The Logwood, Enmore playfield has been taken over by heavy machinery owned by the contractor and a fence has been constructed to protect them. Kaieteur News understands that the contractor is claiming that he bought the land from the Enmore Neighbourhood Democratic Council.
While some Councilors of the NDC were tight-lipped about this development, others denied any knowledge of any sale to the contractor, dubbing his occupation of the playfield as illegal.
Attempts to reach the Chairman of the NDC have been futile, as were attempts to reach the contractor.
For now, about 50 children are being deprived of the use of the playfield while the illegal occupation not only continues but is expanding.
This publication has been reliably informed that there is a private transaction between a senior NDC official and the contractor for a plot of land on the Foulis Embankment, and many are wondering whether the NDC is turning a blind eye to the contractor’s occupation of land and roadways in Logwood.
Some residents who queried the contractor’s actions were told that the “Minister” was aware of the situation.
Kaieteur News understands that several Councilors of the NDC’s Interim Body had tendered their resignations over the failure of the NDC to take action against several breaches within the NDC. However, these resignations did not reach the attention of the Minister of Local Government.
THIS IDIOT TELLING GUYANA WE HAVE NO SAY IN THE 50% PROFIT SHARING AGREEMENT WE HAVE WITH EXXON.
