Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of the Central Housing and Planning Authority of Guyana (CH&PA) Lelon Saul has said that Guyanese who have the means to purchase land on the open market should do so, while assuring that land prices will not increase despite the anticipated oil-driven economic boom, which is usually accompanied by an increased demand for land.
“Don’t come here…we are for the small man…,” Saul said during the Authority’s end-of-year press conference yesterday morning.
Revealing that he has considered that the CH&PA should revise its criteria for suitable applicants, Saul said the CH&PA operates to serve “the small man” and added that “those who have the means to go on the open market to purchase land should do so.”
