The South Sudan Law Society has urged the Eastern Equatoria State Ministry of Housing, Lands, and Public Utilities to ensure transparency in land allocations and registration. The call was made during a one-day round table discussion organized by the South Sudan Law Society to deliberate on issues of land demarcation and registration. The law society also said all public land must be recovered to be used for developmental and recreational activities. Issues raised included demarcation and registration of land, allotment of the same plot of land to different individuals, occupation of public spaces, high land registration fees, and lack of transparency in land demarcation and registration. Counsel Jada Andrew Othawa, a legal aid officer at the South Sudan Law Society in Torit, urged the government to allocate land according to the law and embrace transparency on surveyed land.
