The remaining Mocha squatters in the path of a major East Bank Demerara road experienced a sombre Christmas as they are uncertain about what will happen next.
So far they have chosen to remain fixed in their position that the Minister of Housing and Water should do a revaluation on their existing structures.
Stabroek News visited the area on Friday and engaged with Anita Beaton. “I don’t have Christmas. I was at the office [ministry] two days ago, I was supposed to get a farm land for my cattle and I don’t know what happen. Also I told them that the price for the property two years ago is not the price for it now, they need to do another valuation. The money they offering cannot build back the house and also I have a business,” the woman lamented.
