During his meeting with the management of the Commission in the Eastern Regional capital, Koforidua, Hon. Konadu emphasised his commitment to identifying key challenges hindering progress and helping to find lasting solutions to them.
The Regional Lands Officer, Issah Mahama, outlined major reforms aimed at developing effective land administration through decentralization and digitalisation.
He highlighted pressing challenges, including land encroachment, insufficient office space, expanding facilities to accommodate staff and operations.
Also, stool lands boundaries and the drive to resolve disputes and define traditional land ownership.

The Lands Commission is committed to becoming a centre of excellence for land services, as mandated by Article 238 of the 1992 Constitution.
