Ghana Institution of Surveyors, Roads Ministry agree to strengthen compensation process

During the meeting with the Roads Minister, the GhIS highlighted systemic issues affecting the compensation process, including delays in land acquisition procedures, inadequate stakeholder engagement, inconsistencies in assessment and documentation, and prolonged delays in paying affected property owners.

The technical collaboration will involve a review of the compensation process, enhanced exchange of valuation documents and relevant information, stronger stakeholder consultation, and greater adherence to the 1992 Constitution, the Land Act, 2020 (Act 1036), and recognised professional valuation standards.

The Institution said it remains committed to working with the Ministry and other stakeholders to improve the compensation process, safeguard the constitutional rights of affected persons and uphold professional standards.
