The Minister for Lands and Natural Resources, Emmanuel Armah-Kofi Buah, has announced that the Lands Commission is set to decentralise its operations to all districts across the country by the end of the year.
Speaking at the Government Accountability Series held at the Jubilee House on Wednesday, July 23, the Minister revealed that 90 new district offices have already been identified as part of the initiative.
“The Lands Commission has been instructed to decentralise its operations to all districts across the country. I am happy to announce that 90 new district offices in the service areas have so far been identified.

The move, according to him, is aimed at bringing land administration services closer to citizens, easing congestion at regional offices, and strengthening land governance at the local level.
In a further step to improve service delivery, the Minister also disclosed that the Lands Commission is working to ensure a 30-day turnaround time for all land-related applications.
