The Tema Development Company has confirmed the Volta Aluminum Company, VALCO, as owners of a disputed land at Kpone near Tema which the Sunon Asogli Power Company said it had procured for a power plant. The parcel of land has been at the centre of litigation for some weeks after the Paramount Chief of the Asogli Traditional Area, Agbogbomefia Togbe Afede XIV alleged that VALCO was frustrating his attempts to build the plant. Togbe Afede said he was offered the land by the Kpone Traditional Council and had made part-payment, but VALCO maintained that it acquired the land forty years ago for an Alumina refinery. The Managing Director of TDC, Mansa Banson told Joy News after meeting with both the Kpone Traditional Council and officials of VALCO that the ownership of the disputed land was clear.
