President Irfaan Ali in a live video on Facebook yesterday berated the opposition for encouraging Mocha squatters to defy attempts by the Ministry of Housing and Water to move them to make way for a road. Ali categorized the opposition’s actions as irresponsible, political opportunism and a lack of leadership. The Facebook video was done after the Ministry demolished seven houses at the Mocha squatting area yesterday after several months of trying to reach an accommodation. Ali stated, “For the last couple of weeks we have been publishing for everyone to see in a very open transparent way, all that we have done to have a seamless and smooth movement of those who were illegally on the reserve. So that a road can be completed that will bring relief to tens of thousands of Guyanese.”
