In the aftermath of the tragic killing of a military officer at Kasoa in the Central Region reportedly due to a land dispute, Vice President and New Patriotic Party flagbearer, Dr Mahamudu Bawumia, has stressed the critical need for land digitisation in Ghana.
Dr Bawumia reiterated this call while engaging with religious leaders in the Western Region as part of his campaign tour.
Speaking to the religious leaders, Dr Bawumia emphasised the pressing issue of land guard challenges in the country and highlighted the importance of digitizing land records to effectively address these challenges.
“The recent tragic incident in Kasoa underscores the urgent need for land digitisation in Ghana. We cannot continue to lose lives and properties due to land disputes.

"Digitising land records will not only help prevent such conflicts but also ensure transparency and efficiency in land administration,”Dr Bawumia stated.
His advocacy for land digitisation comes at a critical time when Ghana is facing increasing cases of land disputes, often resulting in violence and loss of lives.
Dr Bawumia's proposal aligns with the government's commitment to modernize land administration systems and improve access to land-related services for all Ghanaians.
As Dr Bawumia continues his campaign tour across the country, his emphasis on land digitisation remains a key focus, highlighting the importance of sustainable solutions to address the long-standing issue of land disputes in Ghana.
