Landlords refused to collect compensation
Winneba, Dec 29, GNA - Twelve landlords at Kasoa whose
buildings were affected by the construction of the Mallam/Kasoa
highway have refused to collect the balance of their
compensations totaling 1,437,829,800 cedis.
The landlords, who had already collected some of the amount,
feared that as soon as they collect the money their
buildings would be demolished.
The amount, ranging from 40,976,000 cedis to 323,900,000
cedis, represents the final settlement of the compensation.
Mr Solomon Kwashie Abbam-Quaye, the District Chief Executive
for Awutu-Effutu-Senya, said this to the Ghana News Agency
in an interview at Winneba on Wednesday.
Mr Abbam-Quaye said efforts to get the landlords to collect
the money had proved futile and that their refusal to go for
the money was delaying the final phase of the work at Kasoa.
He appealed to the landlords to go for the money immediately
because the Ghana Highways Authority in collaboration with
his office would soon embark on the final demolishing
exercise.
Mr Abbam-Quaye said government would use part of the
compensations of recalcitrant landlords to pay for the cost
of the demolition exercise.
