Section 28: Costs and powers of Minister

28. Costs and powers of Minister (1) Where the Minister thinks it just and expedient to grant a lease of State land to a person having squatted on it, or to any other person, and whatever may be the terms or conditions of the lease, the Minister, where satisfied that the tenant or intended tenant is too poor to be able to pay the costs for a title deed or for its registration, may remit such costs, or reduce them to such nominal sum as he thinks just and reasonable, or allow them to be paid by instalments. (2) The costs for a title deed which the Minister is empowered to remit or reduce, or allow to be paid by instalments, under this section shall include costs of transcription of the title deed.
