Achimota Forest Landgrab is temporary: It’s only a Policy Decision; not Legal nor Constitutional

The current action by the Government of Ghana of rewarding Encroachers and punishing Original Land Owners because government failed to protect the State Acquired Lands is a grave injustice, illegal and unconstitutional.

Policy is not superior to a Law or the Constitution;

1. Whereas President Kufuor wanted to use the Achimota Forest Lands for commercial businesses…
2. President Atta-Mills cancelled it…
3. President Mahama attempted to give less Land and use the remainder for an ecological zone to protect the Achimota Forest without declassifying the Achimota Forest thus making the titles granted to the Owoo family (who are not the Original Land Owners) unusable for purposes inconsistent with the purpose of the Original acquisition as a Forest…
4. President Akufo-Addo is declassifying and degazetting the Achimota Forest Lands and making the titles granted under President Mahama usable for construction work inconsistent with the original purpose of acquisition of the Achimota Forest…

All documents must be made public and properly scrutinized by Ghanaians.

Environmental issues arising from the Lands Minister relying on a District Assembly to protect the Achimota Forest Lands is totally defeated when juxtaposed with the role of the La Dadekotopon Municipal Assembly LaDMA in the destruction of trees and gardens at the La Wireless Cluster of Schools.

The attempted stealing of the Cantonments Civil Aviation Land using an illegal document signed by a Lands Minister, Kwaku Asoma-Cheremeh is identical to that of the Achimota Forest Lands documents being canvassed by the Lands Minister, Samuel Abu Jinapor…

All documents on all State Acquired Lands must be made public immediately for scrutiny especially as nobody trusts the government, the Ministry and Lands Commission.

All State Acquired Lands fraudulently allocated to cronies must be retrieved.

Ghanaians are resolved to be Citizens and not Spectators.

God Save Our Homeland Ghana.
