PRESS RELEASE

 

CALL FOR PROOF OF LAND OWNERSHIP DOCUMENTS FROM PLOT OWNERS

LILONGWE: The Ministry of Lands, Housing and Urban Development has been conducting a Land Ownership Audit in Lilongwe City. Land ownership in Malawi is governed by various pieces of legislation, including the Land Act (Cap. 57:01 of the Laws of Malawi), the Registered Land Act (Cap. 58:01 of the Laws of Malawi), Physical Planning Act, Land Surveys Act, Real Estate Management Act and the Malawi National Land Policy. These legal and policy instruments provide the framework for the management, administration and registration of both public and private land. They further regulate various aspects of land administration such as land allocation, physical planning, surveying and valuation.

The Land Audit among other matters revealed weaknesses in internal controls relating to records management; instances of non-compliance with prescribed land administration processes and applicable regulatory requirements; the development of land, changes in land ownership and use without the requisite statutory approvals.

Following the foregoing findings, and with a view to ensuring the maintenance of accurate and up-to-date land records; and promoting the efficient and effective land administration, the Ministry hereby calls upon the registered owners of the following plots to report to the Ministry’s, Land Information Management Systems (LIMS) Offices at Golden Peacock Office Building, Floor No. 3, City Centre, Lilongwe within a period of sixty (60) days from the date of publication of this notice and to produce the following documents:

  1. Completed plot application form
  2. Offer letter
  3. Grant of permission to develop the land
  4. Grant of permission to subdivide land
  5. Grant of permission to create a plot
  6. Grant of permission for plot extension
  7. Grant of permission to amalgamate plots
  8. Transfer of lease
  9. Certificate of completion of payments of charges, fees and duties
  10. Proof of payment of ground rentals
  11. Grant of permission for change of land use
  12. Lease agreement
  13. Deed plan
  14. Certificate of lease
  15. Approved development plans
  16. Proof of development status

The Ministry therefore wishes to inform plot owners that it will take necessary action upon the lapse of the stipulated period.
