Minister Daniel Garwe condemned the rampant illegal allocation of land, stating that the area has not been regularized for settlement. This intervention is a recurring effort to curb land-related fraud, which remains a persistent issue in local governance. The government's move is intended to protect unsuspecting buyers from losing their investments in unauthorized developments.
