Irfaan Ali, made this disclosure while addressing hundreds of Region 5 residents gathered at the Blairmont Community Centre, West Bank Berbice for the Ministry’s eighth “One Stop Shop” exercise for 2012, wherein 625 house lots were distributed. “This is the second such activity in this region, as we are seeking to provide adequate housing facilities to all Guyanese.
