While hundreds of squatters struggle to stay afloat amidst the deliberate flooding of Success on the East Coast of Demerara by the Guyana Sugar Corporation (GuySuCo), President Irfaan Ali is urging that they allow his government to develop housing the “right way”.
“My brothers and sisters at Success… we want you to own your homes too; that is why we sent the housing team so many times to see you. We want to help you. We are going to move as fast as possible in this programme but I am appealing to Guyanese let us do it the right way,” he said during his feature address at the opening of the “Dream Realised” Land Title Distribution Ceremony hosted yesterday by the Ministry of Housing and Water at the National Stadium at Providence.
According to Ali, Guyana has to become accustomed to doing things the right way otherwise there will continue to be “communities which are not sustainable “.
