O'NEILL TO IMPLEMENT WORLD BANK STYLE LAND GRAB NEXT YEAR
by MICHAEL JOSEPH PASSINGAN Peter O’Neill will start implementing a massive World-Bank style land grab this year using the Small-Medium Enterprise Policy and Master Plan as a tool to fool customary landholders. The big winners are expected to be his own companies and cronies like the Costantinou family, Nii Cragnolini and the L&A Group, corrupt lawyer Jimmy Maladina and all the other konmen he shares his loot with. Customary landowners will be left with no land and a few crumbs from the business feast. Item 3.7 of the Master Plan states that beginning in 2016 the Government will start providing financial support to the Lands Department “to acquire customary Land.” Sources within the Lands Department say that land identified by the O’Neill Regime as essential for business purposes will be taken over whether customary landowners agree or not.
