  "summary": "The Ghana Institution of Surveyors (GhIS) and the Ministry of Roads and Highways have agreed to strengthen the compensation process for road projects following a meeting on August 24, 2026. The meeting, attended by key officials from both parties, aimed to address public concerns over discrepancies in compensation claims linked to road projects. The GhIS highlighted systemic issues including delays in land acquisition, inadequate stakeholder engagement, and inconsistencies in assessment and documentation. In response, both sides agreed to collaborate on a technical process to improve the compensation administration, involving a review of the process, enhanced information exchange, stronger stakeholder consultation, and adherence to established legal and professional standards. The goal is to protect property owners' rights while ensuring value for money for the state.",
