Ejisu (Ash), Sept 2, GNA – Mr Kingsley Atta-Karikari, Senior State Attorney in-charge of land Title Registry in Kumasi, has suggested that land for the development of the Inland Port at Boankra and its environs be brought under the Land Title Registration exercise to promote investment.
He also called for the encouragement of real estate developers for the development of the inland port area since they can meet the criteria of the financiers and also to avoid waste of land.
Mr Atta-Karikari was speaking at a day’s forum on management of land for the development of the Boankra Inland Port and its environs on Tuesday.
It was organised by the Ejisu-Juaben District Assembly in conjunction with the Ghana Shippers Council, Ghana Ports and Harbours Authority.
Traditional authorities, departmental heads, assembly members, land development agencies and unit committee members from the various communities in the district attended the forum.
The Senior State Attorney said the demarcation of all the lands allocated to developers should be in line with the policy development objectives of the area.
Mr Yaw Ahenkora Afrifa, the Ejisu-Juaben District Chief Executive, said the district assembly has voted 100 million cedis towards the preparation of a composite land use plan to check haphazard location of structures and also maintain a disciplined development pattern of the area.
He called on all stakeholders to ensure that lands in the area are positively protected and that anybody caught encroaching on any land will not be spared.
Nana Aboagye Agyei II, Ejisuhene, called for effective collaboration of all stakeholders.
