Land for new GRA HQ transferred to hotel developer – sources

While promising that the Guyana Revenue Authority (GRA) would have a spanking new headquarters, the government has now taken back the land earmarked for the agency at Pattensen, East Coast of Demerara  and assigned it to a hotel developer, sources have revealed.

“The GRA new headquarters land was given to someone for a hotel to be constructed on…as part of a country development decision,” a source close to government told Stabroek News.

“[Government] took away the land and used it to build a hotel among other things,” another source informed.
