aside for the new bridge.
On Wednesday, Minister of Public Works Juan Edghill was forced to issue and hand-deliver eviction and demolition notices to property owners who are still refusing to move but remain in the path of the bridge and accompanying infrastructure.
Those who were issued the notice are Prince Albert Wilson, William Ovid Thomas, Clare Ramsay, Merlyn Thomas, Wilfred Brandford, Vivienne Friedricks, Clarence Howard, Alexandrina Klass, Neil Browne , Orfield Dash & Margaret Dash, Dennis Hall & Odetta Hall, Joan Stewart, Yuen Yen Lim & Nip Yuen Tai and Alvin Yearwood & Wilbert Yearwood.
“As you may recall during the year 2022, the Government of Guyana informed you that the property… would be compulsorily acquired under the Acquisition of Lands for Public Purposes Act,” the notice read.
It reminded the property owners that the government through various agencies engaged them on multiple occasions to amicably and consensually reach an agreement on market value and compensation for the properties and costs related to removal and attendant inconveniences.
The offer of the Government includes land, house and monetary compensation.
“In these engagements, you willingly accepted the Government’s decision to compulsorily acquire your said property for the public purpose of the construction of the New Demerara River Bridge and the access carriageway in relation thereto.
“Unfortunately, those engagements with you unlike with others, were unable to yield an amicable consensual financial package as contemplated by the letter and the spirit of provisions of the aforementioned Act,” the notice added.
Now pressed for time, the Government proceeded with the compulsory acquisition of the property and in light of the failure to arrive at an agreement on the compensation to be paid, the Government will engage the High Court in accordance with the Act for a resolution of that matter.
“Therefore, Title to the property now vests in the Government.”
In the circumstances the government has asked that the residents vacate the property within 30 days. Failure to do so will result in an eviction and demolition of the properties.
The government said it would prefer not to resort to this recourse.

In September 2022, the Contractor JV provided a comprehensive Land Acquisition and Relocation Plan to the Ministry of Public Works showing all the properties that fall within the Right-of-Way of the New Bridge.
In October 2022 a Team from the Central Housing and Planning Authority and the Ministry of Public Works conducted a scoping exercise in order to compile a detailed report of the particulars of the properties to be acquired in the Peter’s Hall area of the New Bridge.
In October 2022, the Hon. Colin Croal, Minister of Housing and Water and a CHPA team invited the residents of Peter’s Hall and Republic Gardens to a public engagement to inform them of the process that will unfold leading to the acquisition of their property for the construction of the New Bridge.

Given that the FIFA international window is from June 3 and the clash against Panama is three days after, the camps could likely be held later this month, meaning there could be more home-based players until the other players are released from international clubs.
Highlighting that many of the players are currently active within their respective leagues for much-needed “game time”, Forde indicated: “We are also planning international camps. We have two countries with which we are discussing camps. They [players] will go and have at least two-week camps and play a lot of games in preparation for what will be the toughest game against Panama.”
To add further context to the fixture, Panama is currently ranked 45th by FIFA, third in CONCACAF (behind Mexico and the USA), and qualified for the 2018 World Cup in Russia.
“We have to bring our A-game, and I have confidence in the work Jamaal Shabazz has done. The Guyana Football Federation has proven for many years that we are not confined by our limitations and by our challenges,” Forde added.
Based on the schedule, Guyana has to host Belize on June 11, but that fixture will not be held in Guyana due to the lack of an appropriate venue.
“The unfortunate reality is that the entire campaign will be played outside of Guyana again, which is sad for the entire country, but we have no control over that. Our mind and focus is rigidly fixed that the team’s preparation is of the best level,” the GFF head added.
Belize is ranked 182nd by FIFA, while Guyana is at 154th and 19th in CONCACAF.
Guyana also has Group fixtures against Nicaragua (ranked 16th by CONCACAF) and Montserrat (ranked 23rd by CONCACAF).
Only the group winners and runners-up will advance to Qualifiers’ third and final round.
In the third round, the twelve teams advancing from the second round will be drawn into three groups of four teams.
They will play double round-robin home-and-away matches, with the three group winners qualifying for the World Cup.
The two best-ranked runners-up will advance to the inter-confederation playoffs.
