Eastern Province land registration drive delivers titles, reduces disputes

Eastern Province has seen a significant boost in land security following a six-month registration drive. The campaign successfully corrected over 75,000 land records, granting legal ownership to thousands of landowners. This initiative is expected to reduce property disputes and foster economic growth by formalizing land tenure.

The drive focused on ensuring that all land records were accurate and legally recognized. By addressing discrepancies and updating ownership details, the project aims to create a more stable environment for property investment and development. The formalization of land rights is a key step in the region's broader economic strategy.

Officials have hailed the campaign as a major success, emphasizing its role in providing security and clarity for property owners. The reduction in land disputes is anticipated to free up resources and reduce the burden on the judicial system, allowing for more efficient land management and utilization.
