Some foreign nationals seeking citizenship are providing fake addresses on their applications.
Sunday Stabroek recently visited three of the addresses which were listed by applicants in public advertisements and found that in two cases there was no record of the applicant being resident there.
“Wuh? Who? That is Spanish name and nobody like that don’t live here,” a man, who gave his surname as Lowe, said when asked to confirm if Roberto Martinez Fundora, who stated in an advertisement in the Kaieteur News that he lived at 180 Charlotte Street, Bourda, was indeed resident there.
“Look, there is a hotel right over the road there and plenty Cubans… stay there, so maybe you can check there but nobody by that name don’t live here. This here is the Lowes and the (names provided),” he added.
