James Enu, Member of Parliament for Tema West, on Wednesday, July 23, 2025, addressed a distressed and agitated crowd at the Sakumono Ramsar Site following a series of demolitions that triggered deep anxiety among residents.
The MP, who arrived amidst visible tensions, appealed for calm and assured residents that he was not only aware of their plight but had already taken concrete action on their behalf. "When I heard that the team would be returning to continue the demolitions, I knew we could not allow this to go on without wider dialogue.
I will immediately make my way to the Jubilee House to plead for clemency and push for a more consultative approach," Enu said.
His swift intervention at the Presidency led to a temporary suspension of the exercise, allowing room for broader stakeholder engagement and a more humane resolution of the impasse.
