Wa Naa urges Akufo-Addo to address issues of state lands in Wa - Adomonline.com

The overlord of the Wala Traditional Council, Naa Fuseini Seidu Pelpuo IV, has appealed to President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo, to intervene and halt the wanton grasp of state lands in the Wa Municipality. 

He also appealed to the President, who paid a courtesy call on him, to conduct an extensive audit of the state lands in the Municipality. 

He said some individuals were identifying, rezoning, and selling state lands to themselves with impunity without recourse to the future development needs of the municipality. 

“Of late, the race to rezone government-acquired lands and resell them clandestinely to individuals has hit the Wa Municipality

Individuals practically choose parcels of government-acquired lands they want, and the managers of our state lands promptly rezone them for them to buy,” Naa Pelpuo explained. 

He also reminded the President of the need to make farm inputs available, and affordable, to the farmers in the region as the rainy season sets in.  

President Akufo-Addo, on his part, assured the revered Chief of acting on the sale of state lands in the Wa Municipality as soon as practicable.
