Papua new Guinea's Lands Minister says properly registered Incorporated Land Groups are the answer to the country's problem around land leases.
Justin Tkatchenko is urging clans or landowner communities to unite before registering as an ILG in order to obtain their customary land title.
Mr Tkatchenko says landowner divisions have given rise to bad land deals, such as the controversial Special Agriculture Business Leases.
He told Johnny Blades that the government established a committee this year to look into the legality of all these leases.
