Timehri North residents say they will not accept compensation from the Government to move from the homes they have worked over the years to build and are asking Transport and Hydraulics Minister Robeson Benn to visit the community.
“This is really unfair… I build my house here, yuh gon tell me I have to left it now? When I look around, the things I have in me house, you think the government can pay me for it? After I work so hard to achieve them, so hard I’ve worked… I don’t want any compensation because I don’t have the energy that I had years ago to fetch wood and sand and all that. They are saying $1.5M per household but that’s not money.
