Starting July 22, the Ghana Railway Development Authority (GRDA) will roll out a sweeping review of all railway leases issued up to 2023.
This move affects individuals and businesses currently occupying railway lands or using railway assets leased through the Ghana Railway Company Limited (GRCL) and GRDA itself.
The GRDA aims to tidy up and revalidate its records to ensure proper management of railway properties.
In a public announcement on July 15, the Authority made it known that anyone who holds a railway lease must come forward with the necessary paperwork.
People affected by the review are expected to visit the GRDA’s Roman Ridge office. They’ll need to bring their lease agreements, whether issued by GRCL or GRDA, alongside payment receipts and valid ID cards.
“This is an important moment for transparency and accountability,” said a GRDA representative. “Anyone who doesn’t take part in this review risks losing the lease on railway property.”
The notice has raised eyebrows among leaseholders, many of whom are sorting through old documents and scrambling to meet the deadline.
