Opinion: State Sponsored Galamsey Money Laundering – THE GYATO-JINAPOR-ASENSO CONNECTION…

The Akufo-Addo-Bawumia government used State Acquired Lands and Bungalows to facilitate Laundering of Galamsey money.

The notorious Landguard Clemence Gyato and his Anyok Holdings Vigilante group were central to the Galamsey and Land Looting agenda of the Akufo-Addo-Bawumia government.

The Galamsey Excavators that were stolen passed through Clemence Gyato and his Anyok Holdings…

Clemence Gyato confirmed to Citi FM that under instructions from the Lands Minister and the Adenta Municipal Chief Executive he cleared a portion of the Aviation Land to park the over 500 Galamsey Excavators which Ekow Ewusi was caught on tape discussing with Prof. Frimpong-Boateng…

The Chief Director of the Lands Ministry confirmed to the Parliamentary Select Committee on Lands that the Lands Minister has signed an illegal agreement with CLEMENCE GYATO and his Anyok Holdings to reclaim encroached State Lands and is paid with portions of the State Lands which he gives to Galamsey people to develop so he takes his share…

Parliament therefore promised to probe the Clemence Gyato and Anyok Holdings Agreement with the Lands Ministry and the allegations that he has his own Security, Media and Judicial team that helps cover up even deaths resulting from their operations.

On the Joy FM Super Morning Show, the Clemence Gyato East Legon shooting spree and Assault of police at the Airport Police Station came to the fore only for National Security to allegedly call into the show to claim it has taken over the case…

The notoreity of Clemence Gyato and his Anyok Holdings spanned almost everywhere including the State bungalows in Labone, Cantonments, Legon and Airport enclaves under Asenso Boakye…

The Clemence Gyato Parliamentary probe has not yet happened as Parliament was indefinitely adjourned on Tuesday 22nd October, 2024.

The Tuesday, 22nd October, 2024 edition of the Daily Graphic confirms that the Akufo-Addo-Bawumia government is still doing business with Clemence Gyato and his Anyok Holdings.

The Akufo-Addo-Bawumia government has actually given Clemence Gyato a mandate as announced by the Greater Accra Regional Minister and captured in the Daily Graphic.

Hon. Daniel Nii Titus Glover said “We are here to sanitise the region. We don’t want any land guards, any sort of miscreants that will try and disturb the peace in the region.” after a fact-finding tour of La Stool lands in the La Nkwantanang Madina and Adenta area.

The Greater Accra Regional Minister named Clemence Gyato as being in charge of the government lands in La Nkwantanang Madina Municipality and the Adenta Municipality…

In November 2020 the Akufo-Addo-Bawumia government issued a White Paper communicating the release of 40% of the lands by government.

The release was effected by the Lands Commission in conjunction with Clemence Gyato, designated as a contracted caretaker after a portion of the released land had been stolen…

When the Chiefs complained to the Regional Minister, Clemence Gyato asked them to formally write to him or the Lands Commission.

Instead of the Regional Minister and head of the Regional Security Council arresting the notorious Landguard Clemence Gyato on the spot, he asked the aggrieved Chiefs to make formal applications through the Lands Commission for redress.

This unending sagala of Clemence Gyato, Anyok Holdings Vigilante Landguardism and money laundering through State Lands and Bungalows must be brought to a halt.

Ghanaians must be Citizens and not Spectators.

CITIZENS’ ARRESTS ARE THE LEGAL SOLUTION.

If the State refuses to act on these prime lands being looted and used to finance crime…

…while criminally-minded officials of the Lands Commission collude with others including the Lands Ministry and the Works and Housing Ministry to loot State Acquired Lands and Bungalows.

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

The inability or unwillingness to publish the status of the State Lands and Bungalows is because of the evidence that will become public, that indeed these have been used to launder Galamsey money, hide the proceeds of Corruption and given at ridiculous prices to government officials, their family members, their friends and their business associates.

The Good News is that, OPERATION RECOVER ALL LOOT [ORAL] promises to recover all these stolen State Lands and Bungalows and prosecute all those involved.

The 7th December Election offers Ghanaians an opportunity to have these State Lands and Bungalows retrieved for the development of Ghana and not to benefit individuals at the expense of the generality of Ghanaians.

VOTE TO ARREST TO LOOTING AND PLUNDERING OF GHANA.
