Minister for Lands and Natural Resources, Emmanuel Armah-Kofi Buah, has reassured Ghanaians that public lands will not be sold under his watch, stressing that government is instead working to recover state lands that were previously misallocated. Speaking on the GTV Breakfast Show on Wednesday, September 24, the Minister said a land investigations committee is currently reviewing identified cases of questionable allocations. He emphasized that the government’s recent announcement on land management does not constitute a wholesale opening of the system, but rather a tightening of controls. “This announcement has been made, but there’s no wholesale opening. We are still implementing measures that are tightening the system,” Mr. Buah explained. He noted that many processes at the Lands Commission had stalled due to uncertainties, and new guidelines have now been issued to allow the Commission to proceed. These guidelines, he stressed, do not include the sale of state lands. “In fact, what we are doing is to make sure that we plug back on state land that was sold by the previous government. And we are determined to do that,” the Minister stated firmly. Mr. Buah underscored government’s commitment to safeguarding state assets and ensuring that land administration reflects transparency, accountability, and national interest.
