Delay In Land Allocation Hinders Economic Development

Addressing members of the 15 Sub Land Boards that fall under her jurisdiction at the on-going strategy formulation retreat in here, Mothobi noted that effective land distribution and management would realise the ideals of the pillars of the new 2036 National Vision.

She said for the country to achieve sustainable economic development, as well as social and human development, citizens must have land for both business and residence. She said at times people with brilliant business ideas seeking business plots are sent back, a situation that hinders the Land Board’s mandate to facilitate sustainable economic development. She would want Land Board activities aligned with the National Vision, the National Development Plan as well as with the activities of sister departments under the new Ministry of Land Management, Water and Sanitation Services.
