Opinion: State Failure to Protect Land Ownership: Deliberate due to complicity of State Actors…
Sophia Akuffo together with hundreds of other high profile personalities and organisations who are still holding on to the prime Lands fraudulently allocated to them have cheated the La People of their Lands.
A dangerous seed of Landguardism and Land Looting was planted when the State enacted the obnoxious ACT2 in 1960 and vested Lands in Accra, Winneba and a few places under the President.
A bad law under a good President lasts only until a bad President comes along with a corrupt Lands Minister aided by the criminally-minded officials of the Lands Commission and land loving government officials, judges, lawyers and business associates…
When Chief Justice Sophia Akuffo bought prime Cantonments State Land worth millions for GHc7000 it opened the door for others to do worse especially when President Akufo-Addo refused to act on the Article 146 Petition for her removal as Chief Justice.
Today, others are buying an acre of land for as low as $6…
Sophia Akuffo together with hundreds of other high profile personalities and organisations who are still holding on to the prime Lands fraudulently allocated to them have cheated the La People of their Lands.
President John Evans Atta Mills retrieved the Looted International Students Hostel prime Airport State Land allocation to Chief Justice Georgina Theodora Woode and others, re-rezoned it and used it for the construction of the Foreign Affairs Head Office Complex.
As an heir to the La Stool and the Effutu Stool of Winneba;
I strongly object to the State Sponsored Stealing of State Lands and Bungalows including Vested Lands.
The State must take appropriate steps to devest all Lands.
Afenyo Markin must know that Parliament cannot interfer with a case pending before the court.
Parliament must support the efforts by Prince-Derek Adjei and OccupyGhana demanding the publication of the status of all State Acquired Lands, including Vested Lands and Bungalows.
The continued lamentations of the Lands Minister, Samuel Abu Jinapor that the people who are revered in our society drive around on weekends looking for State Lands and Bungalows with little or no activity then come to his office to pressure him to allocate these prime lands to them must be immediately investigated…
The continued fraudulent sale of State Bungalows by the Works and Housing Minister, Asenso Boakye particularly in the Prime areas of Cantonments, Labone and Airport must be immediately investigated…
The Special Prosecutor must take immediate action to save Ghana from the phenomenon of Land Looting which is key to the fight against Galamsey and Corruption.
The proceeds of Galamsey and Corruption are laundered through the fraudulent land transactions and the fraudulent allocation of State Lands and Bungalows.
These fraudulent land transactions aid the corrupt persons avoid bank paper trail of their transactions and hide their unexplained wealth;
a classic case of Money Laundering…
Ghanaians are resolved to be Citizens and not Spectators.
ENOUGH IS ENOUGH.
