The Minister of Lands, Housing and Country Planning, Dr. Turad Senesie has assured all fully paid-up buyers for the plots of State Land for Sale at the John Obey Community that the Government of Sierra Leone will ensure their safety and peace of mind.
He made this statement while taking the purchasers and/or their representatives on an official tour of the various plots of land for identification and allocation on Tuesday August 2 2022 at the John Obey Community.
At the site, the State Land customers were excited over the outlook of the landscape and the smooth acquisition process thus far.
Dr. Turad Senesie defined the scenery as a representation of the National Flag – Green, White and Blue.
“The forested mountains in the community represent the green; the natural waterfall represents the white, while the beaches represent the blue,” he affirmed.
According to the Minister, the government is creating the enabling environment for its citizens to access land and establish a micro-city in that part of the country.
“Revenue generated from the sale of land would be used to provide social services including the construction of roads, schools and hospitals for its citizens,” Dr. Senesie disclosed.
He used the forum as an opportunity to announce the provision of an additional 150 Plots (One Hundred and Fifty Plots) of State Land in John Obey for Sale again to the general public.
The Cost Price for Two Town Lots of Residential Plots remains Le150,000,000 (One Hundred and Fifty Million Old Leones), which is the equivalent of Le150,000 (One Hundred and Fifty Thousand New Leones). And the Four Town Lots of Commercial Plots is Le600,000,000 (Six Hundred Million Old Leones), which is the equivalent of Le600,000 (Six Hundred Thousand New Leones).
The Application Form Portal has been reopened and can be accessed on the website of the Ministry – www.molhcp.gov.sl.

Minister Senesie said the new land sale model is part of the government’s agenda to equitably distribute land to its citizens, while also citing the land raffle model as another.
The Minister announced to the public that the government is engaging the private sector to undertake various development projects in the community including the construction of hospital, ultra-modern shopping mall, school and several other basic amenities.
Dr. Senesie assured the customers that their documents for the land would be handed over to them within the next two weeks, while authorizing the paid up customers to commence work on their plots within the ambit of the law.
