Speech by the Lands Minister Hon. John Rosso

The agenda on Land Reform has quite a long history. It has existed through successive governments and has faced many challenges. The Land Reform Agenda was dormant for the last 6-7 years. My special thanks to my predecessor the current Minister for Housing and Urbanization – Hon. Justin Tkatchenko who noted the importance of land reform and taken the leadership to ignite the process to revive the land reform program early this year specifically focusing on reforming customary land in PNG. I commend him for his bravery in venturing into an area most Papua New Guinean leaders do not dare to go. It is indeed a great success with the outcomes; the 2019 National Land Summit’s 17 resolutions and cabinet endorsement of the outcomes, which we are here in this room to announce to the nation.
