In the wake of a dispute, the Guyana Lands and Surveys Commission (GLSC) says that the Carifesta Avenue grounds earmarked for a massive Qatari resort are held by the state and not the Mayor and City Council.
Government’s whirlwind announcement over the weekend of the Qatari project raised concerns from the city which has contended that the lands in questions were passed to it by the estate of Quintin Hogg in 1887 for recreational use.
The GLSC disputed this yesterday. In a statement, it said that its records show that Lots 1 and 2 of Plantation Thomas were held under Transport number 30 of 1863 by the Colony of British Guiana.
