A Lands Dispute Resolution Complaints Committee was last Thursday constituted by the Government of Sierra Leone to look into land disputes between April 2018 and January 2021, due to poor management of lands resulting to conflicts.
The new Minister of Lands, Housing and Country Planning, Dr. Turad Senesie, made this announcement last Thursday at the usual government press briefing organised by the Ministry of Information and Communication.
“The Committee will receive and look into complaints from persons who feel disadvantaged in land allocation issues between April 2018 and January 2021,” the Minister said.

Complaints will be received in the form of hard copies at the Bank Complex Venue and electronically through email to the address: complaints@molhcp.gov.sl
According to Dr. Senesie, the Committee will report its findings and recommendations to the government for appropriate action.
The Committee which is led by Alhaji Murtada Sesay, comprises Mr. Moses Sellu Mambu, Mr. Jacob Campbell, Mr. Jabez Rogers Wright, Mrs. Toma Jabbie, Mrs. Josephine Buck, Mr. Hassan Samba Yaja, Mr. Boakari Sannoh and Mr. Ambrose T. Rogers as Committee Secretary.
