Government has started proceedings to cancel the controversial lease to Generations Complex Inc., a company owned by Edul Ahmad, a US-based,Wholesale NFL Jerseys China, Guyanese-born businessman.According to a Lands and Surveys notice published in the Official Gazette on December 15, last, the Commissioner of Lands and Surveys is proposing to cancel land lease number GLL2799 in respect to 2.311 acres of Government lands, located at Plantation Thomas Lands, at the corner of Thomas Road and Vlissengen Road.The lease to Ahmad’s company would allow for the repossession of the land for reallocation.The notice also made it clear that persons with claims or who would oppose the cancellation should contact the Office of the Lands and Surveys Commission within seven days of the third publication, stating their reasons.The notice would come at a time when former President Bharrat Jagdeo, under whose watch the lease was granted, had insisted that it was cancelled since 2009.Government had said that there was no evidence that it was cancelled and that moves are being made now.The land in question is part of the sports facilities that the Guyana Public Service Union (GPSU) had said that it leased.However, under Jagdeo’s administration the land was secretly leased to Ahmad with all the permits and documentation completed in just seven days.The 2008 transaction was,Cheap Nike NFL Jerseys China, earlier this month, made public by Minister of State, Joseph Harmon, during a press conference.The Minister said that Government was moving to terminate the lease and to repossess the land, as the transaction smacked of corruption.Ahmad is facing jail time in the US for a US$50M real estate fraud to which he pleaded guilty.He is reportedly a close friend to Jagdeo and has several properties and businesses in Guyana.Months after the deal was signed in 2008, the PPP/C government battled with the Guyana Public Service Union for the lands. The union had insisted it had control on the land.
