Tomorrow, the Ministry of Natural Resources will be opened to facilitate the residents of Harmonyville.
That's right they'll be open on a Saturday to facilitate a special interest groups: specifically 367 residents who can get their land documents for a thousand dollars, and another 300 or so who will be signing their land leases.
It's a special group being handled at a special time - but Petillo says the public interest and the common good demand it:

"We have been aggressive. We have been behind the minister and the Government as far as when it comes to Harmonyville. When it comes to the Saturday event, yes, you know its not normal working hours but we had to dialog with the Government and the Minister of Natural Resources and see if they have time that they can put aside. And, the Ministry said right away, 'We don't mind open a Saturday Morning to facilitate you guys, providing that you have your numbers out there already, your people registered to do it one day.' Other than that, we would have had to wait for another time, maybe after elections and so with all that said, I don't think it's because of election time, this is being done. We have put in the time factor and it just so happen they call this time here, but keep in mind we were fighting to get our stuff out as quick as possible. Elections are here now, and yes, we're getting our papers now regardless of what is happening, the grassroots people are getting there paper work and we are happy about that."
Petillo reminds all Harmonyville subscribers to be at the Lands Department tin Belmopan at 8:00 a.m.
