The Daily Graphic lauds President John Mahama's pledge to resolve chieftaincy disputes in the Greater Accra Region. This, in the paper's view, will help check the negative impact chieftaincy disputes and its attendant land litigations have on investor confidence in the country. It adds that the menace especially affects estate and individual land developers because of the constant short-changes in land deals. According to the Graphic, a critical look at the country's land tenure system will be helpful in dealing with the issue to ensure that land is maintained as a major factor of production for growth. The Graphic notes that the time has come for order to be introduced into land and chieftaincy administration to bring about peace and orderly development.

The Ghanaian Times expresses concern about the rate at which delegations are calling at the Castle to meet with President Mahama. It says even though the gesture is very much appreciated, it feels it may affect the President's health. The Times says it is a fact that the President will get busier when world leaders start arriving next week for the funeral of Professor Mills. President Mahama therefore needs adequate rest to cope with the heavy schedules ahead of him.
