Blame Lands Commission for Persistent Land Disputes - Bernard Mornah Fires

Political activist, Bernard Mornah, believes blame should be laid at the doorstep of the Lands Commission for the unbridled land litigations between landowners and land guards in the country.

To him, if the Lands Commission was up to task by providing detailed and accurate information to the potential buyers about availability of lands, issues pertaining to who is the rightful owner of the land would be a thing of the past.Speaking on UTV’s Adekye Nsoroma show on Monday May 6, Mr.

Mornah held the view that if this is ensured, sale of land to multiple buyers would cease. "...before anyone buys a piece of land, there should be thorough investigation about the availability of the land.""I don’t see why people should sincerely fight over a land.

. anytime a land is sold, there is a portion that goes to the stool lands, family and the state"

How is that the stool land secretariat were not able to ensure that the stool lands are well taken care of.

If a stool land is registered and there is a potential buyer, the stool land administrator can reveal the availability of the land.

The absence of such data will let one landlord sell a particular land to multiple buyers," he added.
