The Lands Commission re­quires $165 million to fully digitise its operations, to facilitate land registration in the country, the Minis­ter of Lands and Natural Resources, Emmanuel Armah-Kofi Buah, has disclosed.

Among others, he said, the amount would be used to fund the digitisation of the map of the country as well convert all the documents of the Commission in a digital format.
