The Central Equatoria State government has reaffirmed its commitment to modernising land administration through the development of a digital land registration and management system.<\/p>\n

The system is aimed at improving service delivery, enhancing transparency, and reducing land-related disputes.<\/p>\n

Speaking during a press briefing in Juba, the Minister of Information and Communication, Hon. Nyarsuk Patrick James, said the state government is working closely with the state ministry of housing, land, and public utilities and county authorities to digitise land registration and management across Central Equatoria State.<\/p>\n

The minister said the initiative is part of broader government efforts to establish a modern and efficient land administration system that will streamline land registration, ownership records, and transfer procedures while strengthening public confidence in land governance.<\/p>\n

According to Hon. Nyarsuk, engineers are making significant progress in developing a unified land registration framework that will integrate land applications, registration, and transfer services into a single digital system.<\/p>\n

He noted that the reforms are intended to address longstanding challenges, including multiple ownership claims, irregular land transfers, and land grabbing.<\/p>\n

He added that the government is also emphasising the centralisation of new land maps to ensure compliance with approved land-use plans. Technical experts have been tasked with recommending appropriate software solutions to support the digitisation process and improve the efficiency of land administration.<\/p>\n

“The objective of this reform is to enhance accountability, improve service delivery, and safeguard land ownership records,” Hon. Nyarsuk said, adding that a reliable digital system will make land administration more transparent and accessible to the public.<\/p>\n

The minister further disclosed that the state government is working in close collaboration with the Ministry of Housing, Land, and Public Utilities and Juba County authorities to implement the digital land registration system, beginning with efforts to strengthen land records throughout Juba County.<\/p>\n

The digitalisation initiative is expected to reduce opportunities for fraud, improve record management, and support orderly urban planning as the government continues its efforts to modernise public services and promote responsible land administration in Central Equatoria State.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
