In a recent government meeting, concerns were raised regarding the management of legacy lands and the lack of community engagement in decision-making processes. A representative highlighted the absence of updates on the status of legacy issues and called for a dialogue to clarify goals and ensure ongoing maintenance of these lands.

The discussion also touched on the controversial actions of a nonprofit organization led by Kamara, which reportedly constructed a house without the necessary permits or beneficiary consultations. This raised questions about accountability and adherence to regulations, with the representative emphasizing the need for stability and proper oversight in land management.

Participants expressed frustration over perceived neglect of their island compared to others, claiming that contracts and resources are disproportionately allocated to beneficiaries from outer islands. They criticized the lack of transparency in leasing practices, noting that no leases have been opened for the Pastoral area since 1970, and raised concerns about exclusive access granted to non-beneficiaries.

The representative called for improved communication and transparency from government officials, urging them to engage with the community to foster a collaborative environment. The meeting concluded with a commitment from officials to meet with community members to gather input and work towards better management of the lands, acknowledging past mismanagement and the importance of beneficiary involvement in future decisions.
