PPP/C Member of Parliament Harry Gill is calling on Agriculture Minister Noel Holder to investigate an alleged “massive land-grab” by persons connected to the Mahaica/Mahaicony/Abary – Agricultural Development Authority (MMA/ADA).
In a missive to this newspaper, Gill said that the area of interest is near Abary, and involve lands once occupied by the now defunct Livestock Development Company – LIDCO. According to Gill, his sources allege that an application for over 300 acres of land was applied for in the name of a friend of a person connected to the MMA.
