And what you saw just now happening at the Housing Department? Well multiply that desperation by 2 and add 10 units of administrative chaos and you’d have an idea of what’s been happening at the Lands Department in Belmopan for the past week. By all accounts, it’s been cr-razy with big fish and regular guppies trying to get their land situation straightened out or tightened up before things change. Because no matter who wins, things will change - as the current Lands Minister is not running for re-election.
And with all that chaos comes the wholesale running of red-lights: 7NEWS is reliably informed that many shortcuts are being taken just so that applicants can get title – even if it’s a title that has been made illegitimate by all the legal red lights that were run just to get it. And it’s in that climate that we are reliably informed that the Deputy Commissioner of Lands resigned yesterday.
