The Gadangme Traditional Rulers Council has asked Vice President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia to halt the construction of a hostel for head-porters known as ‘Kayayei’ in Accra.
The Council, in a statement, said the project and other similar ones had become a cause of consternation for the traditional leaders, the youth and the people of the Ga State.
“Excellency, as you are aware the Ga states have lost large tracts of land as contribution to national initiatives including housing and the various arms of the government machinery. This has left a significantly reduced amount of available land for indigenes to make home. For newly available land to be used for such a purpose is an affront to the allodia owners,” a letter to the Vice President’s office reads.
“It has been alleged that the said project is being directed, funded and coordinated from your good office. This is worrying as we believe you are well aware of the plight of the Ga states and would not allow such to go on.
“We ask that you as a matter of urgency publicly disassociate yourself from this ail-advised project. We also ask that you use your good offices to ask the Mayor of Accra to clear the air on which persons are behind this project and require the work there be halted with immediate effect.”
