An Essequibo man is claiming that the Transport and Harbours Department (T&HD) took possession of land owned by his family to construct the Supenaam Stelling, located near Good Hope, Essequibo, without providing the promised compensation.
Leslie Lowe appeared before the Commission of Inquiry (CoI) into land issues on Monday at the Guyana Lands and Surveys Commission headquarters, where he was represented by attorney Lester Caesar.
Lowe, acting in the interest of his grandmother, grandfather, and great-aunt, now deceased, told the tribunal that they had applied in 1999 for the land he says that compensation is now owed for.
