Residents clash with MP over ownership of abandoned Faecal Plant Project
Aug 13, 2020
Buobai (Ash), Aug. 13, GNA - Some residents of Buobai in the Asokore Mampong Municipality are up in arms with the Member of Parliament (MP) for Asawase, Mubarak Mohammed Muntaka over a land originally earmarked for a Faecal Plant Project.
The 19.06-acre land, which is at the centre of a long-standing controversy involving the residents, the late chief of Kenyasi, Barima Owusu Agyemang, Asokore Mampong Municipal Assembly and the MP, is now partly owned by the Municipal Assembly and the aggrieved residents.
But the residents who believe they own the entire land are accusing the MP of forcefully taking away their property without any justification.
They contended that they genuinely acquired the land from the late Chief of Kenyasi and have in their possession all the necessary documents to prove their claims.
Alhaji Ibrahim Osman, Leader of the group at a press conference to register their displeasure about what they described as "the MPs determination to deny them what rightfully belongs to them", called for the government's intervention to settle the matter.
He said in 2012, the Kumasi Metropolitan Assembly demolished their buildings which were at various stages of completion, claiming the land had been allocated to the assembly by the same chief for the faecal plant project.
Alhaji Osman further explained that after the creation of the Asokore Mampong Municipal Assembly they sought the help of the MP and the then Chief Executive, Mr. Nuru Hamdan to assist them to reclaim their land.
