The Ministry of Housing notes with interest the statements made recently by the Deputy Leader of the Progressive Liberal Party Mr. Philip "Brave" Davis, regarding the squatter issue, many of which appear to be contradictory. The truth of the matter is that the law already gives Bahamian squatters the right to obtain title to the lots they are squatting on, provided they meet certain criteria as was done in Grand Bahama, Abaco, Andros, Exuma, here in New Providence, and in fact in all of the islands of The Bahamas. We are therefore operating completely within the confines of the law.
