Land Reform Now

I have been sitting at my laptop for the last hour contemplating what to write. Will here it is. We need land and other property reform now. At present the government owns an estimated fifty two percent of all the land in Trinidad and Tobago; meanwhile there are about twenty five thousand people who have illegally built homes on state lands, and thousands more who have also constructed homes on private lands to which they do not hold legal title. I have tried time and again to obtain a map of Paramin but one does not seem to exist. If I wanted to build a home do I need a building permit? and if I do not need a building permit how does the government know to bill me for property taxes on my home? How do I find out if the land I am about to build on has been zoned for home construction. In a rural  area like Paramin how do I know I am not cutting trees that form part of the watershed that feeds the Maraval river. I could go on and on but I think you get the picture. Land reform is an urgent national issue that need to be addressed sooner rather than later.
