Squatters reject land gift from govt

THE EDITOR: I am totally against the Government’s offer of free land to squatting farmers at Ramgoolie Trace.

This offer should be immediately withdrawn if the facts stated by the NHA are indeed correct. There are so many needy persons in this country who can benefit from farming 15 acres of land that it is ridiculous that a group of rabble rousers can thumb their nones at a gift they do not deserve. I call on the Government to rethink this situation which will only cause other unworthy persons to agitate in order to achieve the same result. This land is ours and should not be given out willy nilly to undeserving pressure groups.
