Labour Minister in solidarity with BV over lands controversy

Joseph Hamilton during the Beterverwagting visit

As he stands in support of the Beterverwagting/Triumph (BV/Triumph) community in the land controversy with John Fernandes Limited, Minister of Labour, Joseph Hamilton says that the Neighbourhood Democratic Council (NDC) should bear the brunt of the blame.

“I support and am in solidarity with my brothers and sisters,” Hamilton told the Sunday Stabroek.

“I am a born and bred Beterverwagting/Triumph person. That is where I spent my life as a boy; where my life began and where my life is, even though I do not live there presently. I still have relatives that live there. The APNU+AFC council sought to sell private lands. That is a fact of the matter. Why?” he added.
