The Opposition’s motion calling for the creation of a Special Select Committee to review charges for house lots for Guyanese was on Friday afternoon defeated in the National Assembly after government MPs voted against it.
The motion was presented by APNU+AFC Parliamentarian, Annette Ferguson, and according to her, such a committee would help stakeholders to better understand challenges within the housing sector.
In her presentation of the motion she noted that once the committee is established then “we will be able to make recommendations that we need better quality assurance so that when the government is building houses, our people must have a strong and quality house to live in because it is not easy Sir, to take out a loan and having to repair a home.”
