AAGM: Clamour for Ada Songhor Lagoon.
(From Ghanaian Chronicle: AAGM)
Byline: Mohammed Osman
The Paramount Chief of the Ada Traditional Area, in the Dangbe East District of the Greater Accra Region, Nene Abram Akuaku, has called on the NPP administration to go by its electoral promises to repeal PNDC Law 287 relative to the Ada Songor Lagoon.
This decree that was passed in 1992, by the then Provisional National Defence Council (PNDC), claimed that the site for the salt industry was being held in trust for the people of the area.
This situation, according to the Ada Paramount Chief, has adversely affected the economic life of the people and he sees it as an impediment to the private investment in the Ada traditional areas.
Nene Akuaku who was speaking to Chronicle through an interpreter, disclosed that about 42 individuals have shown keen interest to invest in the salt industry, but due to the government holding the land in trust for the people, they cannot get licenses to operate.
According to the chief, during the 2000 elections the current administration promised to revoke Law 287 and hand over the 29,850 acres of salt lands to them, if they voted the party into power.
