That would also enhance the Commission’s corporate reputation and productivity, he said.
Mr Arthur gave the advice during the Commission’s End-of-Year Carol Service held at its new Headquarters in Accra on Thursday.
The event also witnessed the official outdooring of its Choir, who sang Christmas melodies to entertain the gathering.
He commended the staff for their hard work throughout the year and encouraged them to continue to give of their best to improve productivity.
Mr Arthur urged prospective clients of to deal directly with officials of the Commission instead of “middlemen” or unauthorised persons on land-related transactions.
“I want to appeal to the public that whenever they come to the Lands Commission, they should deal with only the officials of the Commission.”
“They shouldn’t walk to the premises of the Commission and start dealing with unauthorised individuals.”
“We have a Customer Service Access Unit, which is always opened during working hours. So, you do not come here and start talking to somebody standing somewhere claiming to be an officer of the Commission,” Mr Arthur advised.
Meanwhile, Mr Jones Ofori-Boadu, the Deputy Executive Secretary in charge of Corporate Services, said the Commission was putting measures in place to go fully digital in its operations.
He said the digitalisation drive was to help the Commission move its records from the manual format to a digital one for easy access and reference.
He noted that the manual aspects of its operations often resulted in delays in some of its processes.
Therefore, the Commission had developed an Enterprise Land Information System, a platform that was spearheading its digital efforts.
The platform, he said, would enable it skip over some manual land registration processes and create a single registration avenue for seamless transactions.
The Commission had created a payment platform on its website where a client can log-in to make payments without necessarily walking to the Commission’s offices.
The Carol Service brought together management and staff to praise God and give thanks to Him for a successful year.
