As Ghana struggles with housing, the most important resource needed to close the country’s housing gap – land, is also the resource surrounded by the most conflict. The Ghanaian judicial system is overwhelmed with cases, most of them land related litigation, making 52 per cent of all cases in court. “These cases are clogging the judicial system, resulted in fatal clashes, denying investors access and slowing development,” he said. He said currently the country is encouraging the use of alternative dispute resolution (ADR) mechanisms for resolving land conflicts. He said it is important to build investor confidence in the land system, and increase sensitization of people and investors to take advantage of ADR instead of seeking redress in the law courts.
