Pressure group, OccupyGhana has engaged the Ministry of Lands and the Lands Commission on concerns over public lands.
The meeting follows OccupyGhana’s incessant inquiries following the Achimota Forest lands saga.
The Group in a release dated August 23, 2022, "specifically demanded that the Lands Commission and the Ministry should produce the legal basis and Policy Directive governing the recent return of public lands to alleged pre-acquisition owners.
It was chaired by a Co-Chair of the Ministry’s Advisory Board.
