According to the institutions, the suspension is intended to allow the implementation of appropriate measures for the effective operation of the Council.

Government institutions have been instructed not to engage with any individual or groups claiming to represent the La Traditional Council.

Additionally, all paramount stool land issues have been placed on hold until the suspension is lifted by the government.

Nii Adjei Koofeh V, however, denied the allegations that it was involved in the illegal selling of lands.
