Ramgoolie Trace vs legal title

THE EDITOR: After reading the information on Ramgoolie Trace which was published by the NHA, I have come to the conclusion that the call for civil disobedience by Basdeo Panday is being heeded.

Farmers at Ramgoolie Trace are being offered prime agricultural land with title, yet they are still demanding to stay where they are illegally squatting. That just does not sound right. I can’t understand why they would rather suffer continuous upheavals than security of tenure ensuring a future for their children and grandchildren. It is clear that there is more in the mortar than the pestle, and these people are being literally led up the garden path by unscrupulous politicians. Hopefully they will see the light before it is too late. After all, lands at Ramgoolie Trace are State lands and no real claim can be made by illegal occupants. Legal battles over land can take in excess of 10 years, what is being offered by the NHA is immediate.So farmers, take the grain of corn that you are being offered, it is certainly more real than the pie in the sky which out of office opportunists can offer.
