In response to the government’s proposed petroleum hub project led by the private sector, the Coalition of Concerned Nzema People has threatened to sue.
This happens in response to the group’s appeal, which challenged the Petroleum Hub Development Corporation’s purchase of 20,000 acres of land for the project, being denied by the Office of the Presidency.
The President is adamant that the project’s planned sod-cutting ceremony will go ahead as scheduled.
In response to the event, Isaac Kojo Ndede, an executive member of the Coalition of Concerned Nzema People, declared that should the government disregard their complaints, the organisation will pursue legal action.
“If you have to consult, is it somebody who does not own even an acre of the land that you have to consult or you have to maybe pass through him to get the right people and engage them? You see when you do first-class engagement and avoid the right people in the villages, do you expect that they will allow you to go scout-free and get the land?
“The way these things are being handled is what we are challenging and we are telling them that that is not the best way. If nothing at all, the best way is to seek legal action and that one is a must.”
