Two employees of the Guyana Lands and Surveys Commission (GL&SC) on Wednesday said the New Amsterdam Town Council is claiming rights to land they would have leased from the GL&SC.

The claim, notably, comes about a decade after one of the complainants would have constructed a house on one of the properties.

Rosamond Fraser and Fay Kesney appeared before the Commission of Inquiry (CoI) into African ancestral land and other land matters, where they testified to receiving letters from the council informing them that the land they were leasing belonged to the New Amsterdam Town Council.
