The Georgetown Chamber of Commerce and Industry (GCCI) is calling for enhanced transparency in the allocation of state-owned lands, inclusive of a public reporting mechanism to show how, and to whom, for how much, and for how long state lands have been leased.
The GCCI also says that any leasing of former sugar estates should be done in a way that optimises land use, and provides benefit for the persons who live around such lands.
The body made its position known during a press conference on Wednesday at its Waterloo Street, Georgetown headquarters.
