In the aftermath of the tragic killing of a military officer in Kasoa, Central Region, reportedly over a land dispute, Vice President and New Patriotic Party flagbearer, Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, has emphasized the urgent necessity for land digitization in Ghana.
During his campaign tour, Dr. Bawumia reiterated this plea while interacting with religious leaders in the Western Region.
Addressing the religious leaders, Dr. Bawumia stressed the critical issue of land guard problems in the nation and underscored the significance of digitizing land records to adequately tackle these issues.
“The recent tragic incident in Kasoa underscores the urgent need for land digitisation in Ghana. We cannot continue to lose lives and properties due to land disputes.
“Digitising land records will not only help prevent such conflicts but also ensure transparency and efficiency in land administration,”Dr Bawumia stated.
His push for land digitization is particularly timely given Ghana’s escalating cases of land disputes, frequently culminating in violence and loss of lives.
Dr. Bawumia’s proposition is in line with the government’s pledge to modernize land administration systems and enhance access to land-related services for all citizens.
Throughout his campaign tour nationwide, Dr. Bawumia consistently emphasizes the significance of land digitization, underscoring the need for sustainable solutions to tackle Ghana’s longstanding problem of land disputes.
