The Ministry of Communities says it is working to clear a backlog of approximately 25,000 applications for land titles and transport, GINA reported today.
According to Minister within the Ministry of Communities, Keith Scott, who has responsibility for Housing, the Housing department of the Ministry is working feverishly to ensure backlogs are sorted out. “Our job is not to attack anyone or to play the blame game. We asked you to put us in power to address the wrongs, and we are prepared to do so,” Scott said
Scott noted that the issue also lies with Lands and Surveys. However, the agency has stated that it is working on a better delivery system, GINA reported.
According to Scott, there is also the case of persons having house lots and not being able to identify these so they can’t move forward to start construction. This will not be occurring any longer, as the Ministry is working to ensure that when a person attains a land, within a matter of months, there must be progress.
