The Volta Regional Minister, James Gunu, has announced plans to launch a full-scale investigation into the alleged illegal sale of lands reclaimed under the Keta Sea Defence Project within the Keta Municipality.
The investigation comes in response to growing public concern and reports of irregularities surrounding the sale of these lands.
“Lands that have been reclaimed by the government through the Municipal Assemblies are meant for specific purposes. However, information reaching us indicates that some individuals have unlawfully sold these lands. We want to investigate this issue thoroughly to ensure that those involved in this unlawful activity are dealt with, and that the reclaimed land is used for its intended purpose,” Mr. Gunu stated.
The Minister made the announcement while addressing the media in the South Tongu Municipality after the confirmation of Victoria Dzeklo as the final Municipal Chief Executive nominee in all 18 MMDCEs in the Volta Region.
Mr. Gunu also expressed gratitude to President John Dramani Mahama for nominating highly competent and experienced individuals to drive the region’s development.
