Land sale accusations against Asokore Mampong officers ‘dealt with’ – MCE

The Asokore Mampong Municipal Assembly has said action has been taken on officers who have been accused of being involved in the sale of community land to private developers.

The Municipal Chief Executive for Asokore Mampong, Kennedy Kankam, said the accusations and petition on the matter were not new to the assembly.

“Even the petition that they sent to me, I have already dealt with it,” Mr. Kankam said.

“The officers whose names were mentioned in it, I have written a query to them to explain themselves… They have even given me the reply,” he said.

The MCE was speaking after some aggrieved landlords and residents of Buobai in the municipality petitioned the Assembly to investigate the activities of some developers who have erected structures on the land which was initially meant for a hospital.

Mr. Kankam said the landlords could continue to protest the matter if they wished.

“If the people are still not satisfied, the demonstration is their right. If anyone wants to do a demonstration, we cannot prevent anyone from doing it.”
