Say What?: The Commissioner Of Lands Makes Statement
posted (July 11, 2011)
Last week we reported on the multiple cases of land title theft affecting a businessman, an investor and a US State Senator. Suffice to say that since then, we've been contacted by a number of persons who are victims of the same thing - and in time, we'll tell you about their cases.

But today the Commissioner of Lands and Survey issued his first ever release declaring, quote: "The Lands and Surveys department can categorically state and assures the general public that the land transactions (in question) were private driven and normally done via contracting parties…."

He adds that, quote "if allegations are made pointing to a particular employee or employees alleging certain breach during the recording process, the Ministry assures the general public that it will pursue…disciplinary action…in an effort to assure the confidence in the Land Tenure process."
