Businessman and former Guyana Lands and Surveys (GL&SC ) Board member Wilfred Brandford says that the $13.5M he paid for lands at the entrance to South Ruimveldt that the government wants returned was too high a figure since he has spent tens of millions developing it over a 17-year period.
He feels that the current bid by the government to recover the spot is targeted at a black businessman which it knows has been “fighting for the spot” since prior to 2015 and which the PPP/C at one time had supported.
