Following the eviction of those residing at Portion 26, Lot 81; the National Housing Corporation (NHC) has lodged a request for a Stay Order to put a temporary stop to all eviction activities as they head to court to litigate the matter. A representative from the NHC’s (Identity Withheld) who is front lining the case stated that they have already lodged their request and will be looking to contest the legitimacy of the State Lease and ownership by Decision 2000 Limited. According to the NHC, this has been an ongoing case since 1997 and has been subject of quite a number of court proceedings regarding the state lease of the property. As part of an unregistered state lease, NHC would provide the housing facilities and that at certain points in time, employees would be able to apply for and be granted lease of properties. The tenants residing over the property are families of past NHC employees that have been residing on the property for almost half a century. “While in the process of applying for Direct Grants, the Division 2000 limited owned by Professor John Nongorr acquired the state lease. We don’t know how he did that but he managed to acquire the state lease.” “That has been an ongoing battle between NHC and the Division 2000 Ltd since 1997 until now. He is trying to enforce a state lease that has already been cancelled. It was cancelled in 2012.” This is why the NHC has lodge a request to obtain a stay order where they can put a halt to the eviction on hold till the current court proceedings have been concluded and ownership is determined. Meanwhile, it has been mentioned by the tenants of the properties that people employed by Division 2000 have been employing strong arm tactics to intimidate the families and they have brought that matter to the attention of the Police.
