Opinion: La Land Looting & Lithium Looting in Winneba: Chief Justice Sophia Akuffo speaks

Former Chief Justice Sophia Akuffo has started talking…

She says she has been un-gagged now that she has retired and will critique issue of national importance…

Former Chief Justice Sophia Akuffo broke her silence on the Domestic Debt Exchange Programme when she joined Pensioners demand for the payment of their investments; she called Ken Ofori-Atta wicked and Gabby Asare Ochere-Darko a Pin-Brain.

Format Chief Justice Sophia Akuffo has called out the Lands Ministry and Minerals Commission on the Lithium Mining in Winneba; she said it is not a good deal and called for transparency and accountability…

Former Chief Justice Sophia Akuffo has however, remained silent on the Land Looting and the Article 146 Petition for her removal as Chief Justice; for her payment of GHc7000 for prime Cantonments State Land worth millions…

The Special Prosecutor has announced that the Office of the Special Prosecutor will probe the fraudulent allocation of all State Lands and Bungalows from 1993.

Former Chief Justice Sophia Akuffo instead of recusing herself, sat on the Jake Obetsebi-Lamptey Ridge Bungalow Case knowing that she and Jake had been allocated State Lands in Cantonments.

Former Chief Justice Sophia Akuffo ruled against Jake Obetsebi-Lamptey, along with the minority that he should return the Ridge Bungalow and the State Land on which the bungalow sat.

INTEGRITY:

Former Chief Justice Sophia Akuffo, however, is still holding on to the prime Cantonments State Land despite an Article 146 Petition for her removal as Chief Justice which gave details of the fraudulent allocation of State Lands and Bungalows to her and several others which particulars were attached to the Article 146 Petition.

President Akufo Addo despite the overwhelming evidence provided by the Petitioners, refused to act on the Sophia Akuffo Article 146 Petition for two (2) years until she retired on her 70th birthday: despite the claim of being a Conveyor Belt in such Article 146 Petition cases during the Charlotte Osei precedent.

Sampson Lardi Anyinenyi and his OccupyGhana friends were aware of the existence of the Article 146 Petition for the removal of Chief Justice Sophia Akuffo and the refusal of President Akufo Addo to act on it; yet chose to pretend to be unaware…

Ace Ankoma, Yaw Oppong, Kofi Bentil and Sampson Lardi Anyineni had used the Newsfile programme to educate Ghanaians on the automaticity of the President acting on Article 146 Petitions, claiming that he was a mere Conveyor Belt or Postal address…

Yet when their colleague Occupier Kweku Baako confirmed existence of the Sophia Akuffo Article 146 Petition and the petition having being received by the president, they refused to comment on the President’s refusal to act on the Article Petition for two (2) years…

It is refreshing to hear Sophia Akuffo speaking on the Lithium Looting in my hometown of Winneba.

It will be even more refreshing to hear Sophia Akuffo speaking critically on the Land Looting in La, my hometown.

As a Royal of La and Winneba, and a Citizen of Ghana; I cringe each time I hear Former Chief Justice Sophia Akuffo speak about Integrity or demanding Transparency and Accountability in my Homeland Ghana.

Chief Justice Sophia Akuffo was in charge of the Judiciary of Ghana, empanelled judges in the Courts of Ghana including the Land Courts.

Chief Justice Sophia Akuffo’s predecessor Chief Justice Georgina Theodora Woode was also fraudulently allocated prime State Lands in the Airport area originally acquired for the International Students Hostel…

Chief Justice Georgina Theodora Woode exchanged her cheap Akweteyman land for the prime Airport Residential area land via a phone call…

Following an Article 146 Petition for her removal as Chief Justice recieved by President John Evans Atta Mills;

Chief Justice Georgina Theodora Woode returned the fraudulently allocated State Land which was subsequently used by President John Evans Atta Mills to build the current Foreign Affairs Ministry Office Complex to replace the burnt one.

The State must retrieve ALL State Lands and Bungalows fraudulently allocated to third-party including officials of the three arms of government, their friends, family members and business associates including crony companies like Zoomlion.

The State must Return to the Original Pre-acquisition Land Owners ALL State Acquired Land which original purpose of acquisition have changed in accordance with the Constitution of Ghana.

The Supreme Court interpretation of Article 20 of the Constitution in the Nii Kpobi Tettey Tsuru III vs Attorney General judgement must be immediately reviewed to reflect the true letter and spirit of the Constitution of Ghana.

Chief Justice Sophia Akuffo must tell Ghanaians HOW THE LA STOOL CAN GET JUSTICE IN A COURT IN GHANA OVER ITS LANDS, when Chief Justices have been bribed with Prime La Stool Lands acquired by the State for specific purposes yet without the right of first refusal Chen the original purpose of acquisition by the State have changed…

The Parliamentary Probe Probe into the Looted State Lands including the unconscionable agreement between the Lands Ministry and the notorious Landguard Clemence Gyato and his Anyok Holdings Vigilante group to reclaim encroached State Lands and be paid with portions of the State Lands, is refreshing…

The Executive Secretary of the Lands Commission and the Chief Director of the Lands Ministry confirmed the existence of the illegal agreement between the Lands Ministry and Clemence Gyato.

The attempted sale of the Speaker’s official bungalow and the sale of the Clerk of Parliament’ bungalow sets the stage for a televised public enquiry.

The Special Prosecutor’s investigation into unexplained wealth and sale of State Acquired Lands and Bungalows is an imperative for fighting Corruption, Galamsey and Money Laundering as Land transactions and the Real Estate industry are used to avoid suspicion and detection of huge amounts of foreign currency as discovered in the Cecilia Dapaa case.

Ghanaians are resolved to be Citizens and not Spectators.

Citizens Arrests will begin soon if the State institutions fail to arrest those responsible for the criminal Looting of State Lands and Bungalows.

All La Stool Land transactions occurring in the absence of the La Stool Lands Secretariat and without the consent of the La Stool, are per ACT 1036, ILLEGAL, VOID and of no consequence…

STAY TUNED.
