Dude its not about the few ppl holding the country to ransom. Its about the PNM setting up these people to make the Goverment look bad. Where were these ppl when the PNM started the program two yrs ago.Why did they not protest then

[neilsingh100]

I hope you share the same view and happy with the treatment to get by the state if Jack decides to build a prison in your back yard.

[SR]

need to expand to other illegal structures on state lands with immediate effect

[COROLLA KID]

this whole hi way thing is 50 / 50 yes.
the people have a right to protest because its their homes they giving up, but at the same time the Hi way is a good move in developing the country...

Jack is wrong on two fronts:

1)The Minister of National Security as a politician has the responsibility to set policy for the Armed Forces. The Minister cannot direct Chief of Defence Staff Kenrick Maharaj neither the Commissioner of Police to move in on any squatter. To do this is Misconduct in Public Office.

2) To remove any squatter from state lands there is a procedure according the State Lands Act which involves the issue being brought to a magistrate for arbitration. Failure for the squatter to move would involve an act initiated by the Commissioner of State Lands.


Last year Kamla won against the State when she represented some squatters whose homes were demolished by the Land Settlement Agency. If there are some fair-minded people in this society, Jack Warner would be reigned in.

According to the article, they squatted on former Caroni (1975) Ltd. lands. They closed down in Caroni 2005 and the homes were demolished in 2008. It cant be more than three years they were there and your lands can only be regularized if you lived on the state land prior to Jan 1st 1998.

RIP Re-Route Movement. 2012 - 2012.

bwahhahahahaaa ......

[nervewrecker]

people beat me to the pics yes.

good drama this morning, ironic that as it came across the news I was passing right there. Road blocked off and a police officer at the entrance turning away traffic. Looks like it 3 of the army truck thingies on site as well, I was afraid to stop for pics, po-po face looked grimey.

Pics of the camp a few weeks back later.

Two sides to a story
1) We need the highway for development ...i agree. TT needs this highway. Highway brings development with the free flow of goods and services.

At the same time ...


2) Should someone have to accept 2/3 of what their house is worth (I mean total cost to be built) because it isn't situated in Westmoorings?

Would you?

just my 2 cents

no 2 needs some fact to back it up. as far as i heard the $$$ they getting far outweighs the value of their homes.

[aspsounds]

I agree in most cases it is... I am not disputing it.. There are some shacks that hardly worth a fart and they are getting money .. ok good

But there are some special cases in which the homes were devalued because of the location. I spoke to a family .. the guy just finished build his house and moved in with his family . The house cost 1M to build and they are being offered 600k and a apartment.

Now if you were in his shoes .. you worked hard to build something good and offered a apartment...wouldn't you feel cheated?

I just hoped they would have priced the homes based on the cost to construct a similar structure. It does not change the price of bread for me but fair is fair.

[Team Loco]

while we discussing this, remember the government can force you to take the $$$ eh. right now they just going through the diplomatic way.

[rollingstock]

Jack was wrong as fcuk, he has totally overstepped his boundary.

Funny thing was the 'whiteman' commissioner almost arrested Jack himself but was advised to hold his hand. Would have been funny as hell though.

[aspsounds]

They can and they will.. Its the price of development... I for one support the highway.. We need better access to the south land.

They need not just to offer ppl money and run them. Recreate and reconstruct the neighbourhood in a similar landscape and give them a small displacement payout. To tell a 70-80 year old man, "Move! and here is 2 million dollars. You fight up and find a contractor, material, utilities and go through red tape to build a home on in this area we have for you in the bush"

I'm all for the highway with NO re-route, but deal with ppl properly nah.

EXACTLY MY POINT.. Replace like with like.

something not sounding right here. sure he dont want you know how much $$$ he getting?

[aspsounds]

Nah...im pretty sure.. from what I heard in one of the private meetings he carried the morgage statement and stuff as proof and was told so is so.

But the idea of re-developing another area, providing the people with the same level of comfort you are taking away, is a much better approach.

Its the idea of "I want your land... take this money and ride" I dont like .

The stress of building a new place. Moving from your home that you sacrificed and constructed to live a NHA apt is degrading to say the least.

[aspsounds]

Why isn't our journalist reporting on this side.. I only seeing this kaka Kobalsingh all the time. Its these stories I think should be told...but is the saucy stuff that sells yes.

[De Dragon]

Run dey MC! If someone come and squat on your property would you advocate diplomacy/payout? The problem is these people break the law, get all the breaks(land title,water,roads,drainage) and yet feel they have more rights that others who acquired their land/house the legal, costly and painstaking way i.e mortgage payments.
