Lincoln Lewis in his letter claims that the property seekers were encouraged by the PPP to occupy the lands. I read this elsewhere and believe it because the PPP has historically encouraged squatting. I am willing to bet that many "settlements" in Guyana originated from squatting. Isn't a part of Enmore called Squatting Scheme?

At the back of Nigg and Belvedere North are also called Squatting Scheme. People squatted there during the previous PPP government. But instead of evictions, better bridges, roads, water and electricity were provided and the shacks became better houses.

This was GUYSUCO's land, similar to Nigg and Belvedere North housing scheme, when houses were first built in 1959, after the logies.

Why is the government policy different now with Success squatters ?
