Residents of Beterverwagting/Triumph (BV/Triumph) met last Monday and decided to retain an attorney to represent their interests in the matter of the 143 acres of land before the courts, independent of the efforts of their Neighbourhood Democratic Council (NDC).
Many are peeved at not only the inconvenience and loss of time due to an issue brought on by the NDC, but that they also now have to foot “unnecessary” monies to pay for legal expenses in a matter that they never agreed to in the first place.
“Some community members came out and we discussed the issue … Some of them were not clear about what exactly happened or where we are so they were brought up to par. We decided that we will get a lawyer to also guide us on what would be in our best interest,” Villager and NDC Councilman Elton McRae told Stabroek News following the meeting.
