Farmers advised against illegal sale of government lands

Kwamoso (E/R), March. 03, GNA-The Akuapem North

District Co-ordinator of the National Disaster Management

Organization (NADMO), Mr Victor Doku, on Thursday urged

farmers to impress on their relations against illegal purchase of

the Kwamoso State Farm Lands for building purposes. He said nobody had the right to arrogate upon himself to

sell state lands without the necessary authorization as was

happening at Kwamoso. Mr Doku warned that no matter how long it would take, at

the appropriate time, the state would take action against both

those who were illegally acquiring the land and those who sold

them. He was speaking at a meeting with members of Disaster

Volunteer Groups (DVG), engaged in farming at the

Kwamoso State Farm at Kwamoso. Currently, some group of people were offering the state

farm lands at Kwamoso for sale as building plots and in some

cases harassing DVGs working on the land to force them to

leave to enable them to sell the land. Mr Doku called on all DVGs in the area to unite to enable

his organization to provide them with the needed support to

help improve upon their productivity and their standard of

living. He called for the revival of the monthly meetings of the

DVGs with officials of NADMO in the district to help resolve

some of the challenges facing DVGs farming on the State

Farm Lands.
