Commission to stop fraudulent land title documentation
Accra, Oct. 14, Ghanadot/GNA - The Land Commission is taking
steps to stop the current spate of fraud in land title
documentation to protect the public and improve the security of
tenure by sticking to a new strategic plan.
A communiqué issued by the Commission at the end of an
orientation workshop and signed by its Chairman, Nana Adjei
Ampofo said the Commission was being re-branded to improve upon
its poor public image.
The Commission, which was inaugurated on 21st August 2009, said
it would do this through improved staff attitudes; work ethics;
client-focused and efficient service delivery in valuation,
survey and mapping; documentation and registration of title
deeds to meet clients' expectations.
The Commission said it would enforce development control in
accordance with statutory planning schemes and compliance with
terms of leases and would accordingly deal appropriately with
illegal structures; change of use without necessary approvals
and encroachment on Government lands.
The communiqué said the Commission would adopt good governance
measures to ensure transparent management practices,
accountability of officers; enforcement of rules and regulations
and implementation of strict disciplinary codes.
It said it would improve staff skills; capacity; rewards;
working environment and relationship with stakeholders, clients
and the general public.
The communiqué said the Commission would take the necessary
steps to recover all revenue arrears from its clients as a means
of improving revenue generation to support Government budget and
thereby enabling it to achieve its development agenda.
