Recently selected Chair-man of the Central Housing and Planning Authority (CH&PA) Board Pastor Elsworth Quintel Williams says that his top priorities include ensuring that those persons who applied for house lots in the 90s are not forgotten, repairing defective homes built by the last government and expanding the housing sector.
Williams is of the firm belief that consolidation and expansion is what is needed to strengthen the sector.
Recently he spoke to Stabroek News at his South Road office about his plans and the direction he wants the sector to take.
Acknowledging that there are some challenges facing the CH&PA, Williams said he was trying to get himself acquainted with the workings of the Housing Ministry. He said he was concerned that there were at least 25,000 persons in the system awaiting a house lot allocation.
