I have a piece of advice for the thousands of people who have applied for houses through the NHA, some for over fifteen years and to date have received no response. We have a Minister of housing who declared on entering office that he is shutting down the distribution of houses in order to provide upgrades yet and still houses are being distributed left right and centre to people who are living on what I now call prime real estate. Let me explain then I will give my advice. Woman lives in sea lots and sea comes into her home at high tide bringing with it dead fish and faeces.
Her plight is laid out on CNC3 and she gets a house. Woman with several children living with rats and roaches in squalid conditions her plight is laid out on CNC3 and she gets a house. Woman with many children living in swamp-like conditions with manicou sized rats, filth and bird-sized cockroaches. She and her children cry their eyes out on TV and they get a house. Questions. While I am very happy for these folks are these the same unfinished houses that needed repairs that the minister said he would stop distributing until they are repaired? What about all those folks who applied for houses and can't get a response from the ministry?
Has the government inadvertently sold an idea to the people as to how they can manipulate the government? Well I have a piece of advice for all those applicants who are waiting. Move from where you are living on to a piece of prime real estate somewhere near the "La basse" or in a swamp in central. Hire some rats and roaches and get your plight on TV and suddenly out of nowhere YOU will get yourself a house free of charge.
