Former National Security adviser Brigadier General Nunoo-Mensah has warned the government to stop the sale of public lands especially the one belonging to the military .

This warning comes on the backdrop of allegations made by the defense minister Dominic Nitiwul that former President Mahama and his ministers had sold lands belonging to the military.

Successive governments have also been accused of selling state lands and has done nothing to also stop encroachment on military lands.

The former chief defense staff stated that a moratorium on such lands will help preserve the land for future generations.

‘’Those lands that are already gone I do not know what we can do about it but we should stop the sale of public lands without caring otherwise in the near future when the government wants to do something it will have to buy land at very high cost, it shows that as a people we are very greedy and don’t care about our country.” He said

According to him, “we should stop the sale of this lands and rather protect the ones that are left.”
