There is a question we have been wanting to ask the government, and it is like pulling a Carmel through the eye of a needle. How in God’s name did we increase the land from 144 to 361?
The EI itself is silent over the issue. If you look at the instrument, you would see that the Minister is given a certain power on how lands obtained using an instrument should be used.
Anytime there’s an issue that emerges from the Mahama administration, this government says that they don’t intend to continue with it.
Why now has the government decided that they have to promulgate EI-144? This is a scheme of the government.
During the Kuffour administration, they wanted the lands around Nogahill Hotel towards the George Walker Bush just by the roadside.
At that time, the government felt that those were the prime areas of the forest and they had to be relocated to the forestry commission areas.
The people wanted compensation for the relocation and nothing else. Also, let nobody make this point that EI-144 was done to perfect what happened under the NDC because the 118 acres of land were duly registered.
Thus, they went into the family of the Owoos.
These were the words of Lawyer Edudzi Tamakloe on TV3’s Newday. Here’s the link to the video: https://youtu.be/zvhsRo9nSRs
