President of Ghana Institution of Surveyors (GhIS), Maame Ama Edumadze-Acquah has called on the Legislator to pass the Survey Council Bill to regulate surveying businesses in the country.

This, she says, will help resolve land management issues and challenges affecting land administration systems in the country.

Speaking at a press conference President Maame Ama Edumadze-Acquah said “We want to welcome all the Government, Churches, Banks, Business Houses, Farmers, Fishermen to the party of Surveying. We have eaten of the crumbs falling from the tables of the entire nation, now it is time to have a complete party to ensure that land issues do not hinder development.”

She further urged government to ensure that professional surveyors are deployed to prepare and monitor all Projects Budgets nationwide especially public projects.

“…This party, which must have some of the choicest meal and drinks, must include the passage of the Survey Council Bill to regulate the Surveying business, ensure that non Surveyors must not advise on Land, Land Administration matters. To ignore this, will lead us all to chaos, only Professional Quantity Surveyors should prepare and monitor all Projects Budgets in this Country especially Public Projects.” She added.
