Ga Mantse comments on
Ga land issues
Accra, March 25, Ghanadot/GNA – The Ga Mantse, King Tackie
Tawiah III, on Wednesday condemned the actions of individuals
and groups purporting to be speaking for the Ga people on the
land issue.
He told a cross section of the media that while the Council
share the feelings of Ga people being alienated from their land,
it would however not condone the activities of individuals and
groups agitating for the release of Ga lands.
King Tackie Tawiah said, on such issues, the Ga Traditional
Council held the supreme right to speak on behalf of the people
and it was distressing that the land issue was taking political
colouration.
King Tackie Tawiah said since all the processes used in giving
land to the colonial government were done through law, the
Council had been in discussion with government since 1992 to see
how best to resolve the issue.
He said this dialogue had continued over the years and had not
degenerated into difficulty.
He said the Council had full confidence in the new government to
release land to the Ga people after a thorough review of
decisions of past governments.
