Ahead of a rally by the opposition coalition A Partnership for National Unity (APNU) in Linden, the main opposition Peoples National Congress Reform (PNCR) is shrugging off concerns about a now aborted land-deal involving Region 10 Chairman, Mortimer Mingo.
Head of the Presidential Secretariat, Dr. Roger Luncheon is on record as saying that he had called Mingo, a close friend of his, offering him a plot of land at the Sparendaam area known as Prado Ville 2. Mingo has also said that he had subsequently blocked a GUY$1.5 million cheque from being cashed by the Housing Ministry for the land which had been offered to him by Luncheon.
Addressing a public meeting earlier this week at the Stabroek Market Square, PNCR Leader, Robert Corbin urged the gathering not to allow the issue “to confuse us by making us turn ourselves at this time.” He said the matter would be dealt with in-house but he did not go into details.
“I am not representing him but some of us are going to be distracted by that and fight among ourselves at this time rather than concentrating on the real issue before us,” said Corbin.
Mingo was among several African Guyanese that Luncheon had named some weeks ago ,in a High Court libel case by Bharrat Jagdeo against Freddie Kissoon, as having received house-lots at Sparendaam where the state radio’s transmitters had been located.
“I don’t represent Mingo but the fact is whether Mingo disclose he write a cheque or not, all of you attested that he at least he make the cheque bounce and he ain’t tek the lot,” added Corbin.
Others African Guyanese named as recipients of land include Luncheon himself, Chief of Staff of the Guyana Defence Force (GDF), Commodore Gary Best and former President of the Caribbean Development Bank (CDB), Professor Compton Bourne.
The libel case stemmed from Kissoon saying in one of his newspaper columns that Jagdeo was an ideological racist. Under cross-examination for several days, Luncheon was asked searching questions about the allocation and sale of state resources including lands, the appointment of persons and the awarding of contracts.
