Minister of Housing, Lands, and Maintenance, Dwight Sutherland, says he sees home ownership as a vital part of the country’s development.

Speaking during the resolution of the Section 5 Crown Lands Vesting and Disposal Act, in the House of Assembly on Tuesday, he said he believes that home ownership may be more important than land ownership, with the government remaining committed to providing greater ownership opportunities.
