LAND and Legal Affairs Minister Saddam Hosein claims the former PNM administration politicised the Land Settlement Agency (LSA), causing a delay in squatters receiving statutory leases which could help them to get tenure on lands they occupy.

Hosein gave the assurance that government is working to remedy this situation.

He made this statement during an LSA ceremony to distribute certificates of comfort (CoCs) to 103 eligible applicants at the Chaguanas Borough Corporation auditorium on November 13.
