It appears that persons purporting to be the Minister of Housing and Lands, Michael Lashley, have been going around soliciting funds from unsuspecting members of the public as a down payment towards the purchase of property.

Minister Lashley has said that neither the Ministry of Housing & Lands, nor the National Housing Corporation (NHC) has any such collection programme in place and anyone being approached by such persons should immediately contact the nearest police station.

He said that the police have already been alerted and he urged the public to be vigilant.
