Opinion: La Beachfront Landgrab: Before Blay Brothers and Bryan…

BEDIATUO & BEDIAKO

The Executive Secretary to the President and the Independent Presidential Hopeful preceded the Agriculture Minister and the sons of the former Deputy Speaker of Parliament and currently the Board Chairman of GNPC in the race to take over the prime La Beachfront.

Nana Asante Bediatuo and Nana Kwame Bediako started their annexation of the La Beachfront from opposite ends [EAST & WEST];

Nana Asante Bediatuo grabbed through his Naija fiancée the Sandbox Beach towards the Osu end of the La Beachfront.

Nana Kwame Bediako started his Beachfront expedition from the Teshie Shooting Range towards Laboma…

Several others including Nigerians and senior Ghanaian Military Officers used Soldiers and Landguards to attempt taking over the rest of the La Beachfront with the Laboma Beach being a major battlefront…

Some of the Beachfront Landgrabbers have successfully registered these at the Lands Commission in connivance with some criminally-minded officials of the Lands Commission.

The documents, how they were generated, signatories and payments to various persons and entities will shock the nation.

The role allegedly played by a late Judge and his Lawyer son in these Beach Wars will marvel Ghanaians…

Bloody Battles were fought, many lives and limbs were lost over the years…

The Ghana Tourist Board has also highjacked and is actively siphoning out millions of Cedis each month from the Labadi Pleasure Beach Resort which is nestled between the Labadi Beach Hotel and La Palm Royal Beach Hotel…

ACCOUNTABILITY IS A MUST.

The lack of Transparency and Accountability in the La Beachfront matters makes millions of dollars disappear into private pockets regularly…

AUDITING THE LA BEACHFRONT

Forensic auditing of the entire Beachfront will have to follow an investigation into the entire Beachfront, including the abandoned JB Danquah-Adu Tower and the stretch of slum-like Beach Resorts that are dotted between the Tower and the Artists Alliance Gallery…

The value of the La Beachfront is a staggering figure well in the Billions of Dollars;

Beaches everywhere in Ghana can become prime reveller cum tourist destination, potential real estate haven and a major hub for economic activities; if government works with the various Stools, Chiefs and People rather than the current model…

The controversial Marine Drive Project concept which has never taken off despite the funfair by the government needs to be explained to Ghanaians by President Akufo-Addo.

The Marine Drive Project spanned the entire Osu coastline, from the Osu Castle, the back of the Independence Square towards the James Town Harbour Light House.

How the Marine Drive Architect, Frank Tackie’s initiative was yanked from him and sole sourced to David Adjaye together with the Trade Fair and National Cathedral project design must be explained to Ghanaians by President Akufo-Addo.

The lightening-speed Landgrabbing currently underway in Accra must be investigated and the media must take a keen interest in naming and shaming those stealing the Prime Airport, Cantonments, Legon, Labone Lands and Bungalows.

The Prisons Service, Police and Military Lands are under siege from the Land Looters.

The demolition of properties near the Airport City towards the 37 Hospital to create the so-called New Accra City Project must be stopped, investigated and culprits punished to serve as deterrent to others.

Who and who are developing the many high-rise buildings and Town houses springing up in Cantonments and Labone where State Bungalows once were?

Who gave them the La Stool Lands or State Acquired Lands?

GHANAIANS WANT TO SEE THE DOCUMENTS, including the documents Freddy Blay claimed to have to prove his sons own the Labadi Beach Hotel Beachfront…

President Akufo-Addo must be compelled to publish the status of all State Acquired Lands and Bungalows.

The Private Members Bill being sponsored by Hon. Okudzeto Abuakwa to prohibit public Officeholders from purchasing public Lands and Bungalows is a very good step.

The recent demonstration he spearheaded after his exposés on the attempted sale of the SSNIT HOTELS and the Blay Brothers Beachfront Bust have sensitized Ghanaians.

Ghanaians are resolved to be Citizens and not Spectators;

State investigative agencies including the Special Prosecutor must take immediate action to save Ghana from the State Capture or risk Civil Action and possible Citizens Arrests of culprits in the ongoing Looting of Land, Bungalows and Beachfronts.

GOD SAVE GHANA.

PS:

What will Nana Kwame Bediako say about the La Beachfront?

– is that where Nana Kwame Bediako aka CHEDDAR plans to divert the sea from to Kumasi?

All Presidential Hopefuls must state categorically what they plan to do about the Looting of State Lands and Bungalows.

President John Dramani Mahama has promised to establish a Committee of Enquiry into the Looted Stolen State Lands and Bungalows as well as the Expropriation of GaDangme Lands if voted in office as President of Ghana.

Ghanaians want to know what Bawumia, Bediako and others will do about the Looting of State Lands and Bungalows.
