A mother of three, whose house at Tuschen, East Bank Essequibo, was repossessed by the Central Housing and Planning Authority (CH&PA) after it claimed she breached the terms under which it was built for her, is moving to court to challenge the decision.
Linda Persaud, who was among a number of persons who have been advised by the CH&PA that their houses would be taken back by the agency for the alleged breach of the terms under which they were built, says she and her children were evicted last December when agency officials reclaimed the property.
