Ghanaian landowners who have had their land acquired for road projects can now apply for compensation, according to government guidelines. The process allows landowners to claim compensation for their homes, crops, and relocation costs. The government has issued detailed instructions on how to make these claims.
The compensation process is part of a broader initiative to ensure fair treatment of landowners affected by infrastructure development. Officials say the guidelines aim to streamline the process and reduce disputes. Landowners must submit their claims within a specified timeframe.
This initiative follows recent efforts to improve transparency in land acquisition processes. Previous reports indicated delays and confusion in compensation claims. The new guidelines are intended to address these issues. The government has also emphasized the importance of legal support for landowners during the claims process.
