Dear Editor;
This letter serves to express my anger and frustration with the Central Housing and Planning Authority (CH&PA). I was allotted a piece of land in Farm on the East Bank of Demerara for a hefty sum. I pooled my funds and paid it without complaint since I was eager to have my own home.
The CH&PA urged everyone allotted house lots to build promptly before they repossess them. Upon hearing this, I secured a mortgage and completed my new home. The dilemma now is electricity. I went into Guyana Power & Light Inc. to inquire and was informed that it is the CH&PA’s responsibility to provide the necessary infrastructure for the electricity.
My second trip was to the CH&PA where I was informed that the electrification of Farm is on hold until further notice. I have already moved in and there is no sign of infrastructure of any kind being erected.
Why then are persons being encouraged to build when they cannot live comfortably? My funds have become completely exhausted to the point where I cannot even afford a generator. I am in darkness. If persons are taking the steps to build, it is only fair that the CH&PA does their part too in establishing the fundamental infrastructure.
The next issue is the main access road. It is in a deplorable state and in need of urgent repair. On a positive note, I must commend Guyana Water Inc. for the prompt installation of my pipe and water supply.
