Land law to be amended
Justice Minister Rauff Hakeem said today the Land Law in the country would be amended with regards to the Law on Prescriptive rights by excluding the 30-year conflict period.In discussions with the Japanese Special Envoy Yasushi Akashi, Minister Hakeem said there were a number of issues faced by the government in resettling people due to loopholes in the law.
“When we try to resettle some people we find that their lands have been occupied by others, who have resided in these areas for more than ten years, during the conflict. Therefore we are in the process of amending the law to exclude the conflict period,” the minister said.
