The Municipal Chief Executive of Kpone-Katamanso, Mr Solomon Tetteh Appiah has appealed to government to help resolve a protracted boundary dispute between Kpone and Prampram in the Greater Accra Region.
He said failure to act swiftly and urgently could lead to a clash between agents of the areas who were claiming lands they believed fell within their jurisdiction.
Mr Solomon Tetteh Appiah made the appeal through the Ghana News Agency during an interaction with a team of journalists led by Mr Francis Ameyibor, Tema Regional Manager of the Ghana News Agency who paid a working visit to him.
“Government must step in to avoid a clash between Kpone and Prampram. Government must help settle the boundary issues before it escalates”, he noted.
According to him intelligence picked pointed to the fact that agents of both sides were preparing to engage each other violently and therefore suggested that state security agencies took charge of the said disputed boundary lands.
It would be recalled that some few days ago, the Kpone Traditional Council held a news conference saying some persons were allegedly encroaching upon some of their stool lands, which was creating tension between them and the Prampram traditional authorities.
They stated that they had informed the relevant agencies to help deal with the disputed land issue and the use of land guards to harass some residents, indicating that there was the need to respect a Supreme Court ruling on the boundary demarcations between the two traditional areas.
