A statement from the Office of the Leader of the Opposition yesterday blasted the government over the proposed hotel for a Qatari group on Carifesta Avenue contending that it lacked transparency and the land in question is in dispute.
It said that the Qatari Hotel deal is the subject of a legitimate dispute between the government and the Georgetown City Council regarding ownership of the land. Outside of the ownership dispute, the opposition APNU+AFC said that legitimate concerns have also been voiced about the best use of the land, in addition to what it said was the questionable government practice of covertly handpicking developers.
