Toshaos council meeting set for today

The National Toshaos Council (NTC) is to begin its conference today and high on the agenda will likely be ongoing concerns about the lands commission of inquiry (CoI) which the government has convened.

Coincidentally, the lands CoI which is expected to address claims of the descendants of freed Africans, Amerindian land titling and related claims is also set to begin its work today.

Village leaders coming under the NTC have strongly  rejected the lumping of their matters with those of other groups under the CoI charging that there had been no consultations.
