Africa-Press – Ghana. <\/strong><\/span>The Chairman of the Parliamentary Select Committee on Lands and Forestry, Francis Manu-Adabo has advised the Ghana Revenue Authority (GRA) to deploy geospatial data to help in the mobilising of property tax in the country.<\/b><\/p>\n

Geospatial data is information that describes objects, events or other features with a location on or near the surface of the earth.<\/p>\n

Speaking on the sidelines of the 1st Annual General Meeting and Conference of the Ghana Geospatial Society in Accra, Manu-Adabo advised the government to invest in geospatial data to fastrack national development.<\/p>\n

\u201cState Housing Cooperation, they advertise their houses, why don’t they show the houses at various locations through geospatial, it is not difficult, it is the interest, if.<\/p>\n

\u201cOne of the best reasons why Ghana should invest in geospatial data is that there are so many houses in the country that we don’t even know where they are to take tax, many houses,, but if you fly the whole country to get a geospatial date.<\/p>\n

\u201cNo matter where your house is hidden, it will come out, so that the district Assemblies can go to all those places to mobilize tax to build the country, so geospatial data is very important for the work of GRA,\u201d Manu-Adabo said.<\/p>\n
