Minister for Lands and Natural Resources, Samuel Abu Jinapor, has provided justification for the involvement of a private firm, Messrs Aynok Holdings Limited, in the preservation and safeguarding of Aviation lands in Adenta.
The minority, represented by Deputy Ranking Member for the Committee on Lands and Forestry, Alhassan Suhuyini, had raised concerns regarding the decision to enlist a company owned by Clement Dzato for land protection activities.
In response to inquiries from Tamale North MP, the Minister clarified that the Mahama administration initially contracted the company in 2012 due to the limited capacity of the Lands Commission in safeguarding government lands against encroachment.
Additionally, the Damango MP disclosed that further agreements were entered into by the Nana Akufo-Addo administration to ensure the protection of additional government lands.
