Address land renewal issues - GDLA to government

The Ga Dangme Lands Administration (GDLA) has reiterated its call to the government to make it mandatory to address and renew all expired land leases in the Greater Accra Region.

In a statement, the GDLA is still reminding President Mahama of the urgent need to investigate and return all Ga Dangme lands to the rightful owners as promised.

The administration emphasized that this move is crucial for the social, economic, and cultural development of the Ga Dangme people.

For years, the Ga Dangme community has struggled with land disputes, as many of their ancestral lands have been taken over by private developers, government institutions, and other entities.

The Ga Dangme Lands Administration has stressed that the resolution of this issue is essential for maintaining peace and stability in the region.

The Ga Dangme Lands Administration (GDLA) has respectfully appealed to the Ministry of Local Government to refrain from engaging with any traditional leaders in the Greater Accra region regarding stool land and family land matters. Instead, the GDLA has urged the ministry to collaborate with them to ensure accurate and reliable information on land matters in Accra.

In a statement released by the GDLA, they emphasized the importance of working together to prevent potential conflicts and misinformation.

"We believe that by working together, we can provide the Ministry with the most up-to-date and accurate information on land ownership and administration in the Greater Accra region," said the GDLA.

The GDLA has a long history of working closely with the Ministry of Local Government on land-related issues.

They have developed a comprehensive database of land ownership and administration in the Greater Accra region, which they believe would be invaluable to the Ministry.

The administration has called on all stakeholders, including the government, traditional leaders, and civil society organizations, to work together to find a lasting solution to the land dispute.
