The Chief Executive of the Boundaries Commission, Major General Emmanuel Kotia, says plans are underway for the redemarcation of the various land boundary pillars in the Ketu South Municipality of the Volta Region.
Major General Emmanuel Kotia disclosed this when he toured the border communities on the Ghana-Togo border in Ketu South along with Togolese counterparts to ascertain the damage and tempering of land boundary pillars along the international boundary line.
The exercise of redemacation and construction of new boundary pillars will be supported by the African Union Border programme.
The construction will assist to prevent encroachment into Ghanaian land territory.
“We do everything together and we cannot have a construction of a pillar without Togo’s consent because within one pillar the names of the two countries are written on it – making a good collaboration between the two countries,” he said.
Also speaking to the media, Municipal Chief Executive for Ketu South, who doubles as MUSEC Chairman, Maxwell Lugudor, said the exercise by the Ghana Boundaries Commission is a step in the right direction.
According to him, there have been issues of security threats due to the construction of buildings on no-man lands.
He, therefore, pledged the Assembly's commitment to supporting the Commission.
"This exercise is very important to us because it will help solve the security issues due to the illegal structures on the no-man lands between the two countries and also help our security agencies work effectively," Mr Lugudor said.
