Hon. Emmanuel Armah-Kofi Buah (MP)- the Minister for Lands and Natural Resources, has directed the leadership of the lands commission to decentralize the Lands Commission’s operations to address the longstanding challenges of inaccessibility, bureaucratic delays, and land disputes plaguing the system within the next two months.
“Land is a critical asset for our people, and it is unacceptable that citizens have to travel long distances to regional capitals to access basic land services,” the Minister stated.
“This decentralization will not only enhance efficiency but also restore public trust in the Commission’s ability to manage land resources fairly and effectively.”
The Minister charged the newly appointed Acting Executive Secretary, Prof. Anthony Owusu-Ansah, to spearhead the decentralization process, ensuring that all district offices are fully operational and equipped to handle land registrations, title certifications, and dispute resolutions within the stipulated timeframe.
Prof. Owusu-Ansah pledged to uphold the Minister’s vision, stating, “We will work to ensure that Ghanaians, no matter where they are, can access prompt and professional land services. This decentralization is the first step in rebuilding the Commission’s reputation as a responsive and people-centered institution.”
With this decisive action, the Ministry of Lands and Natural Resources signals a new dawn in Ghana’s land administration sector—one defined by accessibility, efficiency, and accountability.
