Kwabenya Traditional Council is calling on President John Dramani Mahama and the Inspector General of Police , Christian Tetteh Yohunu, (IGP) Speaker of Parliament , Alban Bagbin to intervene in the ongoing land dispute at Atomic.
The council accuses Ghana Atomic Energy of giving out land to certain individuals without consulting the traditional leaders, who are the custodians of the land.
At a press conference, Nii Ayi Ana Konteh I, Ga Abola Piam Tunma We, stated that some individuals in the previous government used their connections to acquire land at the Atomic Energy enclave. This land was originally released to the Nii Odai Ntow family by former President John Kufour.
The traditional leader urged President Mahama to investigate anyone who acquired land at Atomic without the royal family’s backing. He suggested assigning a new contract to the president’s brother to handle the matter, citing his competence.
Naa Korkoi Dugbatey II, the Queen Mother of Kwabenya, expressed her confidence in the president’s willingness to listen, believing that he will address their concerns.
She emphasized the importance of investigating the looting of atomic lands, specifically calling on Speaker of Parliament Alban Kingsford Sumana Bagbin to look into the matter.
The Queen Mother urged the Speaker to investigate Parliamentarian who may have been directly involved in the illegal acquisition of atomic lands.
