Ministry of Housing and Water: A den of Corruption
Opposition Leader called the Ministry of Housing and Water (MH&W) a "den of corruption." He criticized the PPP for the fire at the MH&W building, saying it's an attempt to destroy records since an audit is scheduled soon. It sounds ridiculous, but is it? In 1996, the Ministry of Works building also burned down shortly before an audit was to be done. Neither the Police nor the Fire Service has filed reports of the cause of fire. The PPP claimed that it was electrical and that was the end of the issue.
It has been documented (by the PNC/R and acknowledged in the press) that more than 200 people have paid for housing lots in Sophia Housing Area alone (Fields A, B, and C) but are still to receive them. If we were to discards this as mere backlogged cases, how about people with receipts for house lots who cannot find matching payments in the ministry's record? Is money being accepted and not accounted for?
