Amidst complaints by lawyers and others over a sloth in processing of transactions at the all important Land Registry, Government yesterday disclosed that its head, Juliet Sattaur, has been sent on leave to facilitate a probe.Minister of State, Joseph Harmon, speaking with the media following his weekly press briefings yesterday, confirmed that the decision was taken to facilitate a probe of certain financial matters of the Land Registry, among other things.The Land Registrar’s leave was effective from yesterday,Chicago Cubs Jon Lester Jersey, July 1st.Sattaur has been insisting that she was doing her job as required by regulations,Cleveland Indians Bob Feller Jersey, but lawyers and new houselot allottees have been complaining that land titles processing have been taking forever.Lawyers themselves have been highly critical of “delays” at the Registry.With several new housing schemes springing up in recent years, the Land Registry has been swamped processing titles and other transfers.Sattaur herself has been writing letters to the editors of the daily newspapers and even speaking to reporters,Toronto Blue Jays Russell Martin Jersey, defending her operations of the Land Registry.Just over a week ago, in responding to an anonymous letter writer in the Stabroek News daily newspaper,New York Mets Noah Syndergaard Jersey, Sattaur accused the person of penning “utter rubbish” with regards to the Land Registry.“That person is totally misinformed and needs to take a seat when reading what I have to say.”The official said she has signed off all “In Order” transfers for the year 2014. Many have been uplifted by the respective lawyers. Transfers filed for 2015 are being checked as far back as April and are still checking.“Mortgages filed for 2015 are being processed for June. Corrections returned to the Land Registry by the respective lawyers are being processed for August 2014,” she said in her letter to the Editor.With regard to the Ministry of Housing transfers, the Registry is processing those for 30th January,Boston Red Sox Mookie Betts Jersey, 2014. “For this Ministry we have 8,391 transfers filed for 2014.”She said that outstanding matters for lawyers were advertised in the Guyana Chronicle but with little response, this has stopped.Saying that she is getting blamed, Sattaur vowed to expose all and sundry.“I have often said that I do not take a sweet drink,Texas Rangers Cole Hamels Jersey, fried rice or knock glasses with anyone,St. Louis Cardinals Carlos Martinez Jersey, therefore, I am not friends with anyoneand I like it that way. I was put here to do a job and I know I do it well, regardless of what others say.”She denied she was placed at the Registry by Dr. Roger Luncheon,Toronto Blue Jays Roberto Alomar Jersey, the former Head of the Presidential Secretariat.“I will give that person some homework to find out who put me here and I will give a hint: I worked in Court of Appeal,Boston Red Sox Carl Yastrzemski Jersey, Supreme Court Registry; State Solicitor/Public Trustee and Deeds Registry. The latter I left as Deputy Registrar before I assumed the position of Registrar of Lands.” |
