    Very very callous. Why wait for a citizen to build to this level before demolition? Surely, the owner didn't use 4 weeks to get to that level. Why should the Assembly wait till when the house is almost completed before demoli ...

    This is not due to envy. They happen always in Ghana.
    Unfortunately, many Ghanaians use unauthorized means to put up buildings even on other people’s land, especially when they have the NECESSARY CONNECTIONS. I remember s ...

    So, you’re saying the only property your miserable dad ever owned was a portion of public “street”.

  • Paapa 8 hours ago

    You're right he didn't use 4weeks to build but Ghanaians have the notion that when you construct to certain level it cannot be demolished

    Diverting the road may involve demolishing even more buildings so the one is enough. Probably proceeds from galamsay anyway or somebody siphoning state funds so for sure Gh wins.
