Whitewater, Yarakinta get land titles
Stabroek News, Tuesday, October 30th 2007

President Bharrat Jagdeo handed over land grants to the Whitewater and
Yarakinta communities when he addressed toshaos at the Guyana
International Conference Centre on his return from the IMF/World Bank
meeting.

According to a Government Information Agency (GINA) press release
Jagdeo told the toshaos, who had assembled for five days for the 2007
National Toshaos Conference hosted last week, that the government is
working towards developing the communities in areas including health,
education and information technology. "We hope that within the next few
years all of your communities would be connected to the internet," he
said.

GINA said the land grants now bring the total number of titles handed
over to Amerindian communities to 93.
