The creation of the Ministry of Land and Legal Affairs, which brings together state land, mapping, surveying, and leasing functions, promises a more efficient and transparent system for Trinidad and Tobago. Under Minister Saddam Hosein, long-standing delays in land distribution, such as the issuance of Caroni leases, are being addressed, benefiting both citizens and legal professionals. With coordinated departments, better recordkeeping, and potential digital modernization, the reform aims to streamline approvals, reduce backlogs, and restore public confidence in land administration.
