Former Member of Parliament for La Dadekotopon, Nii Amasah Namoale, has announced his intention to sue the government over the issue of La Stool Lands.
He alleged that the government has ignored concerns regarding the acquisition of state lands, particularly in the La area of Accra.
Namoale pointed out that the original lease agreement for the Trade Fair Center had expired, necessitating renegotiation with the original landowners.
However, he claims that the government proceeded to renew the lease for another 100 years without proper consultation.
In an interview on TV3’s New Day on Wednesday, July 3, the former Deputy Minister of Food and Agriculture criticized the government’s stance, stating, “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 expressed his intention to pursue legal action, saying, “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.
