The District Commissioner (DC) of Commewijne, Rajiv Ramsahai, has issued a public warning to residents following multiple suspicions of double allocation of land parcels. Bronto Somohardjo, Chairman of the Permanent Committee for Land Policy and Forest Management (GBB) in the National Assembly, confirmed to Starnieuws that an official investigation is underway to address potential irregularities. Somohardjo praised the DC’s alertness and revealed that the Ministry of Land Policy and Forest Management (GBB) is already preparing case files for submission to the Public Prosecutor’s Office. According to Somohardjo, the warning is both justified and necessary, given the numerous reports of individuals unknowingly purchasing or being allocated the same plots of land. He confirmed that Minister Stanley Soeropawiro is leading a comprehensive investigation into misconduct during the previous administration. “Some case files are ready for submission to the Public Prosecutor’s Office, with more to follow. We must be honest: during the previous term, actions bordering on criminality occurred. People enriched themselves at the expense of the public. That era is over,” Somohardjo stated. He emphasized that the committee is closely monitoring the process to ensure legitimate landowners remain protected. “Those who knowingly acted unlawfully will face consequences. We will rectify what has gone wrong,” he asserted. Somohardjo urged citizens to verify land ownership through the ministry or district commissioner’s office before purchasing any parcel, stating, “Transparency will be the norm, not the exception.”
