The President of the Association of Professional Surveyors of Liberia (APLSUL) yesterday claimed that the courts are also responsible for the illegal sale of land in the country. Josephus Burgess’ statement comes against allegations that surveyors are the main culprits in the illegal sale of land in Liberia. In his remarks, Dr. Cecil Brandy, chairman of the Liberia Land Authority (LAA), however, put the illegal sale of land on surveyors. “By ethics, it is the responsibility of the surveyors to provide proper information to the seller and buyer of a piece of land. “You are to protect the rule of law and make sure that every transaction is backed by the required law, so as to avoid potential land conflict in the country.”
