Former Chief Executive Officer of the Ghana Free Zones Authority, Mr. Kojo Twum Boafo, has asked President Akufo -Addo to immediately withdraw the Executive Instrument 144 which seeks to declassify Achimota forest which has been under government protection.
According to him, government's decision to sell the Achimota forest reserve is very bad especially when Accra is very choked and mainly gets flooded during rainy seasons.
Speaking on Okay FM's 'Ade Akye Abia' on issues surrounding the leaked Will of the former CEO of the Forestry Commission, Lawyer Kwadwo Owusu Afriyie, he further called on people who have acquired lands within reach of the Achimota forest enclave to dutifully return them.
"I will personally lead a charge against all those who have illegally acquired lands at the Achimota forest and the Ramsar site. We cannot allow the Akufo-Addo led government to steal government lands which only does not serve as vegetation purposes but also forest reserve which consume the carbon dioxide produced by vehicles and industries."
"The NPP government is a cheat and they have clearly deceived Ghanaians by making them believe that they are saints when actually they have stolen everything including reserved lands which have been kept for future use," he said.

All you do is fight for power and create wealth for your self leaving the masses out of your programs. Do you ever think of sharing the so-called National Cake among all of us? God save Ghana our motherland. You will all be exposed one after the other. Good morning.
