The Committee tasked by the Minister of Works and Housing, Hon Asenso-Boakye with the responsibility of undertaking a comprehensive audit of all government landed properties in the form of offices and residential accommodation across the country has presented its inception report with a recommendation to set up what will be known as the Government Property Database.

According to the Chairman of the Committee and the Member of Parliament (MP) for Abetifi, Hon. Bryan Acheampong, the Government Property Database, when fully operational will have useful features such as the type of the property, the condition, the estimated value as well the GPS coordinates of all public offices and residential properties.  

Presenting the report, Hon Bryan Acheampong revealed that an estimated 25,000 government landed properties across the country will be captured on the system to enable the host Ministry (Ministry of Works and Housing) to plan and manage the landed assets efficiently.

Having so far audited and captured about 1,380 landed properties of Ministries, Departments, Metropolitan and District Assemblies (MMDAs) onto the database, the Chairman indicated that the Committee would need additional six months to fully capture the rest of the estimated 25,000 government properties across the country unto the system.
