The Convention People’s Party (CPP) says a government of the party will progressively acquire more lands for the state and will prohibit the sale of land to individuals as part of a larger process of ensuring Ghana’s sovereignty.“In order to further protect state acquired lands, the properties or lands will be clearly marked on district/municipal/metropolitan maps and posted at public places in each district and updated regularly. Community ownership will be promoted to ensure protection of such property.”According to the party’s spokesperson on Lands & Forestry, Kosi Dedey, who spoke on the CPP’s alternative propositions on the Effective & Efficient Management of Lands & Forestry, the party will also actively work to restore public trust in Government’s capacity to manage the nation’s limited land and forest resource by ensuring efficient use in order to create wealth.The party, he said, will also actively promote and support the active use of bamboo for furniture and construction to ease domestic pressure on timber and to ensure the sustainability of Ghana’s forests and wild species.
