#STATE LANDS
The Government of Ghana has announced what has been described by sections of the media as “Sweeping Public Lands Reforms”.
The main thrust of the reforms is that public lands can only be, sold to individuals with the approval of the Ministry for Lands and Natural Resources who has also annulled all uncompleted transactions between 2017 and 2024.
The important question is why should state lands be handed over to private individuals no matter what price they pay?
State lands were acquired by the Government for serving the public good and are we to conclude that the interest of the public for which the lands were acquired have been abandoned?
Shouldn’t public lands be reserved solely for the pursuit of state interest?

I believe we dwell so much on the leaders and elites that we often forget the influence of the ordinary citizenry. So the ordinary man needs to cooperate well and accept change when it comes. It will interest you to note the people who are rejecting some of these developments
@BBSimons It's interesting to read. The political will, and not only that, but the willingness (mindset o the citizenry) to accept that its experimental and need all the cooperation. For instance, Upper West has already recorded mixed reactions towards the location of the 24 hour market.

@BoatemaaGi80647 @_Fiifi_Sage@MrIrish3@nppghanahq A threat to you and who? You lot (politrician) kept on stealing from ordinary people. Do I care what you do to each other.
Afenyo says Ofori Atta is traumatized by the OSP labelling.
Below is what trauma looks like. This is what Ofori Atta did to pensioners. Some have even died.

There's something democratically regressive about H.E. John Dramani Mahama's clearing of all these members of the NDC. It rubbishes the judiciary and diminishes the quality of our democracy. I will not be surprised if our democracy drops in the global rankings. This situation is detrimental to the growth prospects of the Fourth Republic.
These actions by President Mahama may signal to present and future appointees to be reckless because a means to escape accountability exists in a nolle prosequi; all one has to do is find creatively legal ways to stymie prosecutorial processes long enough for one's political party to win an election, and all charges or cases will be quashed with a simple uncontestable nolle prosequi...That is the democracy we are encouraging by being quiet.
This is terrible and particularly sad because civil society is quiet, the Ghana Bar Association is quiet, the judiciary is quiet, etc.
This silence is not only deafening but also dizzying...
Fellow Ghanaians, the next step in the John Mahama Administration's "clearing" agenda may be to issue orders to release convicted and imprisoned individuals affiliated with the NDC. Just wait and see.
Where is the Democracy Hub? Or is there nothing wrong with the clearings?
Oh Mawu 😢 😢 😢
