Living on a squatted land and then turning this land into something positive is two different subject.

You are not been grateful or ashamed to accept the truth, because you are a supporter of APNU and you dear mom receive her title from Dr Irfaan.

Now DJ, i am sure your mom add you on her will, wasn't you part of the inheritance. 

There is nothing to be grateful  for ,it's the government  of the day ,duty to appease the citizens of any country.

I may have to dig deeper ,me thinks the people had to come up with some money to get some things done.

Stop guessing !!! for your information ,haven't inherited a dime from her estate.

If I were living on squatted land and a minister gave me Title, I would be greatful to him and his party for life !

Thanks to PPPC for make your mom own a estate. If you didn’t benefit, then I am sure other brothers and sisters or children.. rite. Unless she donate to charity, which is good too. But charity begins at home - they say .

It doesn't matter, Dr. Ali gave them dignity of land ownership and title.

"Estate" there are more than one meaning ,you can verify what the usage mean in my statement.

The more I read the more I am convinced my neighba not only right but is a bloody GENIUS!!!

Django, you should acknowledge the goodness in the PPP and that Dr_Ali_PhD did justice to your mom. She squatted 27 of their 28 year reign and left hanging for the PPP to resolve.

Please acknowledge.

The truth is that Django’s mom is only one out of some 100,000 plus house lands that the PPP awarded to Guyanese during their time in government.

And 99.99 percent of them are thankful. They appreciate the pride and dignity that land tile and ownership brought. God bless Dr Ali. May Allah bless him so that he can continue the good work as President. 

There will never be 100% who will be thankful, grateful and appreciative. Meh neighba seh some Indians Baan to be ungrateful!!

Base was correct. Blackman fuh Blackman, some Kulie ah daag.

The picture tells a thousands word. Under the hapless PNC brother Django mother could not own a tile. It was under PPPC she was able to get that title from the hand of Dr Irfaan Ali.

Ayo look at the big picture hay guys. Most house lots was given out under the PPPC government. PPPC for a Better  Tomorrow. 

This is true. I don't remember anyone getting land from the PNC government up to when I left Guyana. If anything, I have heard a lot of people fearing the PNC would take away their lands.

Burnham took away Hope Estate from Sankar. Belfield from Kissoon Dyal. And Letter T estate from the estate of Sophia Mustard.

True about Burnham but has Granger taken away anybody's land?

According to media reports and the PPP, he has been giving away land that belongs to the Guyanese people to his friends. It this not taking away land that belongs to all Guyanese?

The PPP is a biased source and what media reports suggest that Granger is giving away land to his friends?  The PPP has made some sensational allegations about land distribution that have proven to be sensationally false. 

Please check past editions of both the Stabroek News and Kaieteur New.

I’m not saying he should not follow his political heart and be free to chose.   But acknowledge the good where warranted.

Im happy his mom was able to live out her days on a piece of land she can call her own.  And that’s thanks to the PPP.  This also goes for the PNC. They did things many PPP supporters benefited.

Now ayuh cuss me.

I have already mentioned ,in a post to Kaz ,that's good.

But the land titles didn't came by easily ,it took a 70 yrs + woman in a quiet protest on numerous times ,at Irfaan Office,to get the area regularize. This is an area that strongly support the PPP from day one ,they made many sacrifices for the political party they believed in, loss of wages during strikes ..etc.

I can recall during the early 60's strikes ,we were almost starving ,we got some grocery ,set up by the PPP to distribute to the poorer people,according to family size. As a young lad and the eldest of siblings , i went to collect the grocery ,honestly at that age i felt belittled ,it's like begging. There was no choice , my mom was the only bread winner raised four children on her own.

My grand father worked on the Sugar Estate all his life, , workers were given land lease for 20 years and can be paid off at any time. He took a house lot at Uitvlugt and when he died I paid off the lease. Squatters are people sitting on land illegally, up to today there are squatting areas on WCD,  For the PPP to issue transport to Squatted land is them showing Good faith. So DJ and Family must be thankful to the government in time. ie: PPP.

KP, Bhai nah waste time and energy, Listen to meh neighba dat Banna is a genius!!

My great grandfather was a senior employee of a sugar estate.  He bought his land. No loans. Worked hard and saved his money to buy it.  Now I see why you are so obsessed with Jagdeo house that he built after serving as President of Guyana.

If PPP supporters are so confident that their party is clean they should support a disproportionate wealth bill.  We'll then see if people with public sector salaries could buy the properties held by some politicians.  Many countries have disproportionate wealth legislation, e.g., India, Nepal, UK.

Get real banna.  Thievery in Guyana is normalized.  The PNC will not apply that standard, neither will the PPP.  They both serve and protect each other in the partnership of thievery.

It could happen if the people demand it.  The Coalition is more likely to favour such legislation.  Moreover, there is independent evidence that corruption in the public sector is less prevalent under the coalition.  Have a look at the 2109 Transparency International report on corruption.  You'll see that Guyana is among three countries identified as having significantly improved.  

This is a perception index, not evidence, nor is the Guyana group independent. How much have they said about the excesses by this govt? Very little! How many ministers of this govt. have not filed their financial report to the Integrity Commission? How many reports did Granger file any for the past four years? He has filed None!

TI is highly respected and there is corroborating evidence for its findings.  The Integrity Commission can do little to fight corruption as the assets reported to it are not made public and no one has ever been prosecuted based on those assets being disproportionate to income.  It may be just window dressing.

Highly respected by whom? It is perception that they are using and it is stated clearly. What is the corroborating evidence. The government spent over $600,000,000 on forensic audits and to this point, I do not think a politician has been convicted - nearly 5 years. Tell me the laws  that the that the govt has put in place to fight corruption since it came into power. I grew up in the rural area of Guyana and I know that if something occurs at one end of the village and you quickly ride to the other end of the village, you will hear at least half a dozen different versions of what occurred.

You cannot have it both ways. The integrity commission was set up by law and there are penalty sanction. It is not just window dressing. What should be instructive to you was that the most important official in this country has failed to file his statements for over four years. What is the message this sends to all Guyanese? Good example for the ordinary Guyanese who are trying to make ends meet.

Furthemore. JAgdeo had suggested that the statements be made public, but the coalition opposed it. Why. 

Django, do you see why it is sometimes better to say nothing about your personal, private business? So now because PPP gave away land that did not belong to them in the first place, you supposed to kiss their ass. Well that's how these fellas roll by the looks of it.

Django, why did your mom went to Irfaan Ali for Title for her house lot. I know from personal experience helping a family, there is no need to visit a minister for house lot / title , unless these squatting lots were tied up under some illegal transaction by PNC. Ministers have their own department that handles house lot distribution and title.

Emperor Irfaan.  They own Guyana and oblige your mom a piece of land.

The PPP handed out 100,000 house lots. (This number has not been challenged as far as I know) and since the average family is four, it means that the housing programme positively affected approximately 400,000 Guyanese. This is about half of the Guyanese population!

I think she felt ,Irfaan  who went to school in the community and whose father was also a teacher , she can get him to regularize the squatting area.

There was no heavy handedness  on the squatters on the land by the PNC ,during the years in Government.
