Dear Editor,
It is obvious that the National Housing Trust (NHT) is monetary rich, because it has $180 million for the purchase of land, $44 million to help the budget, and now $250 million to repair infirmaries; totalling $474 million.
Could Prime Minister Portia Simpson Miller and the NHT use some money to build houses in decent areas for $4.5 million so people can really afford to own a home?
Simple maths: $474 million could build 105 houses. And I am sure you would see a lot of smiles on people's faces and hope along the way.
I am one such Jamaican who has been begging for a house and I have been paying into the NHT 'tax' and I cannot own a home.
Please let me smile and have hope, Madam Prime Minister and NHT.
