Former Member of Parliament for La Dadekotopon Nii Amasah Namoale has accused the government of refusing to listen to concerns about the acquisition of state lands especially in the La area in Accra.
For instance, he explained that the original lease agreement for the Trade Fair Center had expired.
The government, he said, was required to go to the original owners of the land for renegotiation but they didn’t and went ahead to renew the lease agreement for another 100 years.
Speaking on the New Day on TV3 on Wednesday, July 3, the former Deputy Minister of Food and Agriculture said “The current government made up its mind not to listen to anybody when it comes to land, whatever they want to do is what they will do.
“with Trade Fair, the original lease has expired you have to go to allodial owners and renegotiate but they didn’t they extended it to another 100 years.”
He further served notice to go to court on this matter.
“We will stand up, we will sit up not to fight but we will go to court and get the legal means to get all ours. Demonstration is not doing this government anything, they don’t care. The governments of Ghana should get ready, the people of La are going to fight and get their lands back,” he said.
