Saywin and Debee Families Seek Resolution Over Land Dispute in Zleh City, Grand Gedeh County
On October 15, 2024, in Zleh City, Grand Gedeh County, the Liberia Land Authority (LLA) Office in collaboration with Save My Future Foundation (SAMFU) held a consultative meeting between the Saywin and Debee families.
The meeting took place at the City Hall and aimed to address the land dispute between the two families.
This was followed by a site visit on October 17, 2024, to the disputed land located in the Gbao Administrative District. The visit was crucial in understanding the on-ground realities and the extent of the dispute.
During the site visit, both the Saywin and Debee families agreed to have the Liberia Land Authority resurvey the entire disputed land. The objective is to ensure a fair distribution of the land among parties, preventing future conflicts and fostering harmony within the community. This collaborative decision marks a significant step towards resolving the dispute.
Madam Agnes Saywin had earlier reported the land issue to the Liberia Land Authority, highlighting that Alex Debee and other members of the Saywin family had signed a 40-year lease agreement with the Burkinabes without her consent. This agreement prompted her to seek intervention for a fair allocation of her family's customary land.
The outcome of this consultative meeting and site visit reflects the community's commitment to resolving land disputes amicably and ensuring justice for all parties involved. The resurveying of the land by the Liberia Land Authority is expected to bring clarity and equitable distribution, setting a example for conflicts in the future.
