The Greater Accra Regional Minister and Member of Parliament (MP) for Ayawaso Central Constituency, Mr. Henry Quartey says he is ready to go after persons or groups of people who are in the business of selling state lands.
According to him, the sale of government lands by some self-styled chiefs using land guards is unlawful and must be stopped.
Speaking to Journalists in Accra, the Greater Accra Regional Minster said persons found selling government lands will be dealt with in accordance with the law.
“I caution those engaged in selling government lands and deploying land guards to desist from it, as the Regional Security Council will deal swiftly with any acts of lawlessness from such groups”, Mr. Quartey cautioned.
The Regional Minster added that the pulling down of structures at Ramsar sites will soon commence.
“I am being told by some people, I will not be going after those occupying Ramsar sites. Let me use this medium to tell them, I am coming. Very soon, we will beat the Ramsar sites and if we find that, a church is sitting on a waterway, mark my words, we will pull it down”. He noted.
The Regional Minister has vowed to demolish buildings within the core zone of the Ramsar site at Sakumono, based on recommendation from Experts.
