EXPRESS TITLE DEEDS EXERCISE GAINS GROUND IN NDOLA

THE Systematic Land Titling project, an exercise earmarked to issue 50,000 title deeds to property owners in Ndola, has gained momentum in the city.

The project is initiated by the Ministry of Lands who have contracted Medici Land Governance to undertake the exercise.

The Ministry of Lands and Medici Land Governance as part of the collaboration held a meeting for His Worship the Mayor, Cllr. Jones Kalyati and the Councillors recently.

The project is mandated to issue four million title deeds to residents in Zambia in order to harmonise land ownership records and empower Zambians with a capacity to obtain bank loans or further develop their properties systematically.

Enumerators collecting information on the size and ownership of the plots are visiting various residencies as part of the process towards the issuance of title deeds within a shorter period than the regular process.

Other areas could be added in due course.
