"It is known that there is a complicated problem in Addis Abeba that has been around for years related to land and land-related issues," read a letter sent by Mulugeta Admassu, the Communication Affairs Support Process head at the office of the city manager to the media. The letter included that the Addis Abeba Administration is making various efforts to resolve the problems.
"One of these endeavours is attempting to solve the problems faced by land holders who do not have any title deeds," the letter said.
The tentative title deed documents will be issued to various selected land holders in selected kebeles and districts. The office will announce the details at a press conference on February 8, 2009, at the conference hall of the city municipality.
The existing directive, the Land Holding Administration Directive, issued a year ago, considers plots that have been occupied without any title deeds until May 1996, if they meet the criteria set for them in two categories of residential and company holdings.
The criteria include the holders' identity to be found in the Nortech Map that had been prepared before 1996. It also considers sizes of plots to be given to each holder. There are also expected to be no tax arrears.
