According to the acting Minister, during the 2025/2026 financial year, a total of 44,112 plots were surveyed across the country. This, he noted, forms part of ongoing efforts to address long-standing concerns surrounding land allocation delays. Furthermore, out of the surveyed plots, 12,416 have already been approved. Meanwhile, during the Committee of Supply, Dikoloti said the remaining 31,696 plots are currently undergoing examination and quality control processes before they can be cleared for allocation.
“Having surveyed almost all plots within the built-up area, the plan for 2026/2027 is to commence surveying of land parcels to facilitate private sector investment for socio-economic development,” he said. While on Secure Land Titles, the acting Minister revealed that to date, a total of 19,621 have been issued, against 68,190 plots captured through Registered General Plans.
