Ownership documents for Kwakwani house lots to be ready by 2023 – Croal

…waterfront residents engaged on relocation

Residents of Kwakwani were on Friday engaged on the issue of relocation and the issuance of ownership documents by Housing and Water Minister Collin Croal and a team of the Central Housing and Planning Authority (CHPA).
This meeting was geared at engaging residents on the regularisation of two areas that were allocated. Several years ago, some 162 house lots were allocated by the Ministry, and this was followed by the distribution of another 176 lots. However, no ownership documents in the form of title or transport were ever issued.
As such, Minister Croal has committed that, by the end of February 2023, this issue would be resolved. The Minister told residents that the area would be resurveyed and the map gazette, as this would further guide the process of signing up for titles.

Residents are also being engaged in the Ministry’s joint plan with the Natural Resources Ministry for relocation of persons living at the Kwakwani Waterfront. Croal has noted that the Government is committed to working with all Guyanese to improve the quality of their lives.
Earlier this year, Minister Croal was in Region 10 (Upper Demerara-Berbice), where he highlighted several development projects that his Ministry was working towards to the benefit of the people. This included the development of 600 acres of land which was expected to produce 2000 house lots for Lindeners.
Simultaneous work was also being executed for the delivery of land titles and transports, coupled with the relocation and regularisation programmes under the Ministry.
Other benefits for the region included new thoroughfares such as the incoming Linden-to-Mabura Hill Road; academic opportunities through the Guyana Online Academy of Learning (GOAL), and the creation of hundreds of jobs. (G12)
