Monrovia, Nov. 3 -- Contrary to information and documents provided by Grand Gedeh County Superintendent Alex Grant that the 500-acre of land recently leased to Burkinabe Investor, Boubou Sebu is a government owned property, the Liberia Land Authority (LLA) says the land is customary land.

Speaking at a news conference in Monrovia at the weekend, Samuel F. Kpakio, Chairman of LLA, clarified that the land in question is collectively owned by the residents of Juzon Town, B'hai Administrative District.

Mr. Kpakio pointed out that, this being a customary land, is protected under Article 32 of the Land Rights Act of 2018, which recognizes customary ownership based on traditional norms, long-term occupancy, and communal use.
