Thousands of residents in the Ayensuano Constituency in the Eastern Region, has thrown to the streets to demonstrate against some three persons of whom is allegedly claiming ownership of their lands.
They said, one Mr. Kofi Anokye, the CEO of Koans Building Solutions has brought bulldozer on their lands to destroyed their food crops and saying someone has sold to him the land.
Our question is that “can someone use just two weeks to register a land at the land commission” they quizzed.
“The size of the land is 2,760 acres and Mr. Anokye (KOANS) is destroying it”
The worst aspect of its all is that, the land guards on the lands are firing guns so everybody is afraid to go to his or her farm. “How can we involve ourselves into the Planting for Food and Job program by the government” one farmer met asked in tears.
“We have lived on this land for over 200yrs, how can someone used just two weeks to register the land. We won’t allow anyone to take our toil from us” they said.
“We want to take this opportunity to inform and warn all prospective buyers being it banks, institutions of cooperate bodies that, Koans Building Solutions headed by Mr. Kofi Anokye doesn’t own any land in Kyekyewere and thus anyone who purchases any Kyekyewere land from Koans does so at his /her own risk” they cautioned.
“We, as law abiding citizens have embarked on this path and will follow it up with a petition to the appropriate quarters and further it to the father of the nation, Nana Addo, to come to the aid of the poor farmers and inhabitants of Kyekyewere and its catchment areas in the Ayensuano Constituency of his home region by instituting a probe into happening at Ayensuano through the hard working Hon. DCE”
We want to assure that we shall be patience for the next fourteen (14) days from today to see which steps the authorities would take. Short of that, we would be left with no option than to defend our lives, farms and properties in every possible and legitimate means available for us”
The Assembly Member for Kyekyewere electoral area Hon. Paul Som addressed the media on their grievances.
Up close interview with Kingdom FM’s KONTIHEN KOFI OBOH with some of the affected farmers, it was discovered that, what they will eat is their major challenges as at now. Because Mr. Kofi Anokye of Koans Building Solutions have destroyed their lands full of food stuff and other crops.
