People who want to register their properties in the newly constituted regions no longer have to go to their former regional capitals, according to the lands commission, which is working to decentralize its activities.
According to the commission, offices have been established in all of the newly constituted regions to aid in service delivery.
During a management retreat, the lands commission’s executive secretary, James Ebenezer Dadson, stated that his organization was planning to establish district offices to further localize its activities.
“Any region in Ghana that you have acquired land you would only go to the regional capital to register your land so you don’t have to travel, for example from Western north, which used to be part of the Western region, to go all the way to Sekondi to register. The Western Regional office is fully operational. The same way we’ve done for Oti.”
“So instead of moving from Dambai to go to Ho, you can register your land in Dambai to make it convenient for the public. Moving forward, what we are doing is to open district offices so the service will even be much closer to the people.” He added.
Last year the Commission also announced that from October 1, 2021, there will be a one-stop verification system for all land searches conducted at the Commission.
According to the Commission, reports from all of its divisions will be put into one separate report.
The Commission has thus urged the public to use its portal in making search applications.
“Furthermore, from October 1, 2022, all applications for searches should be submitted online through https://onlineservices.lc.gov.gh”.
