AG Nandlall Orders Criminal Investigation Department (CID) To Interrogate Black Land Owners, No Ownership For Blacks

Morse Archer, the CEO of Cevons Waste Management, will be questioned by police this afternoon in connection with a parcel of land bought from the Guyana Lands and Surveys Commission.

Attorney General Anil Nandlall had written to Archer in February, telling him that the land he had purchased belonged to the National Sports Commission (NSC). As a result, he ordered that it be vacated by March 31.

Previously, Trevor Benn was charged with misconduct in public office last Friday in connection with the Lands Commission’s land sale. He has categorically denied any wrongdoing.

Mr. Benn said he was questioned outside the Criminal Investigation Department in relation to the $100 million lease of a plot of land on Mandela Avenue and the selling of land on Aubrey Barker Lane.

Within the same month, The government has brought a legal case to have lands sold to Wilfred Brandford of Car Care Enterprise repossessed, and former Lands and Surveys Commissioner Trevor Benn and former Ministry of Finance Valuator Julian Barrington have also been sued for their involvement in the sale for more than $100 million each.
