Some Ghanaians are very dishonest people. Rushing to build where you know a road will pass so you can claim compensation.

How can a Contractor start a govt road project without legally securing the land from encroachers?Agbidzah stated that those buildings were put up after the project has commenced.

Don't believe everything the politicians tell you. They are covering up their mistakes. They didn't do their homework. They started constructing a huge overpass they knew would involve people's lands without first securing those lands. The big building was started long before their ugly bridge. Engage with the owners and pay up. The rot was started under NPP. Mr Agbozah, you have inherited a conundrum. Get your facts right and engage them. Looking at the size of that building in that prime area, I am surprised the owners are not demanding twice as much. How much does an apartment cost at Adjiringano?

STOP lying to Ghanaians. When was construction of that big building started? Did you announce to the nation or the owners of those lands that you were thinking of constructing a road? Have you seen the size of the building - the number of stores and apartments it contains? Have you fairly engaged with the owners? Eminent domain gives you a right to seize a property but you have to pay adequate compensation.

Go to Jubilee House and insult President John Mahama, your hero. The guy is only expressing his opinion. Blame Mahama & NDC for your frustration.

This Agbidzah Minister was the same person who stepped NPP from awarding the Tema-Accra motorway to a Portuguese company in 2018.The company wanted to build and operate it. He's a very Dangerous LIAR.

But where were the city planners, building inspectors of the council when these developers went rushing to build on the stretch earmarked as part of the road construction?

All they do is go about taking huge monies from developers leaving them to build anywhere.

I don't get it. At the conception of the road project who in his wildest imagination in his abode far away from the seat of government and the Road Ministry could know that, there will be a road through his land? And at the conception of the idea of constructing the road, what did the government do? Was it not required of the government to trace the land owners to pay them compensation for the empty lands? If government failed to compensate them for the lands, don't they have the right to develop the lands? Hon Agbodza, pls l don't get your point. Pls come again. What you said makes no sense to me at all.

Just like the demolition exercises going on, permitting agencies found responsible for giving permit should be punished, this is the only way people will take their works seriously.
You can't be paid with tax payers money and you do what you like. By all means someone signed those documents. Fish them out and punish them. I wish I'm a judge. This nonsense must stop!!!

Since most of the educated elite class in the NPP and those pretending to be apolitical and rail against the Mahama government while hiding their party affiliation love to cite case law and rulings from the UK, USA, Canada and others in between why is the Roads minister not able to use eminent domain law to pay fair compensation amounts to the 2 properties?

I dare say that both properties would be deemed less than half the price they're currently seeking. No government anywhere should be blackmailed to stop national development and neither should Ghana.

If the details being presented by the Minister are the facts, why waste time in demolishing the buildings so the project can proceed? This kind of dishonesty by those developers cannot be tolerated in other jurisdictions. It’s in Ghana we make room for such self-serving individuals and development for the public good is stalled. And why wouldn’t he mention names? This is why impunity and total disregard for the law thrive in this country because some people are ‘untouchable’. God save our nation!

Let them produce evidence of the valuation of these buildings. If they prove to be false, prosecute them and let the law take its course.
