Greater Accra Reginal Minister denies selling Ga lands

Henry Quartey, the Regional Minister for Greater Accra, has denied selling government land at Agbogbloshie after it was reclaimed from onion sellers and plans to prosecute his accusers.
After the land was reclaimed, it was designated for a hospital project to serve residents in the area and beyond, but it has not yet been built.
There is a man who is alleging that in relocating the people at Agbogbloshie, I have connived with the people belonging to the Ga people by way of selling lands, and I want to state here and now that I, Henry Quartey, my person, the Regional Coordinating Council, and the government as a whole have not sold even 1010 to anyone, and any attempt to suggest that I have sold the lands is damaging my hard-won reputation and making a false

As a result, I have given the gentleman something, which is not a threat.

"As a citizen, I have the right to defend myself and, if necessary, use a court of competent jurisdiction to seek redress if I believe my good name is being sullied."

I have given him a week from Monday to retract the allegation against me through the same medium; if he fails to do so, I will consult with my attorneys, file a lawsuit against him, and seek at least four million Ghana cedis in damages from him."
