PM Barrow Blames PUP for Obscene Land Giveaways

In responding to Hyde’s criticism, Prime Minister Barrow says that the vast amount of properties acquired by the so-called big landowners took place under the tenure of the People’s United Party.  Likewise, he says that there is a process in going about reacquiring land and that oftentimes that series of action is frustrated by legal proceedings.
