Minister for Lands and Natural Resources, Emmanuel Armarh-Kofi Buah, has issued a direct and powerful call for reform within the Lands Commission, urging the institution to confront and change what he described as a deeply rooted public perception of corruption and inefficiency. "The perception out there is that the Lands Commission is one of the most corrupt institutions in Ghana," he stated candidly during a working visit to the Commission. "It's time to wake up and change that narrative.
Ghanaians expect better." His remarks come at a time when the newly elected administration, under the National Democratic Congress (NDC), is positioning itself to implement significant institutional reforms across the public sector. "This is not about politics," the Minister emphasized. "The people of Ghana have given the NDC government a super majority to reset this country.
We are not here to witch-hunt anyone.
Elections are over- it's time to build Ghana together." Buah stressed that restoring public trust and ensuring efficient land administration must become a priority if the Lands Commission is to evolve into a model of excellence. "We must take the hard steps now if we are to change the Lands Commission into a place of excellence," he said, signaling a new era of accountability and public service.
