Fise:Residents of Fise in the Ga North Municipality are urging authorities to investigate a land dispute involving a proposed Community-based Health Planning and Services (CHPS) compound. The conflict arises from claims by an individual that the land, already hosting construction work for the health facility, is rightfully his.
According to Ghana Web, the claimant asserts that the Ga North Municipal Assembly had issued a building permit for the land after fees were paid. Despite this, construction of the CHPS compound reportedly commenced, sparking concerns over the legitimacy of the land's ownership and the project's execution circumstances.
The claimant has attempted to resolve the issue through official channels, including discussions with the Municipal Chief Executive, Hon. Akwetey Agbo, and reporting to the police. However, these efforts have not resolved the matter, leading the claimant to resort to legal action. He claims to have initiated court proceedings, informing the relevant police division, yet construction persists amid the unresolved dispute.
Further allegations from the claimant include a threatening interaction with Amasaman Divisional Police Commander Peter Adjei over the contested property. Additionally, the claimant questions the involvement of Nathaniel Noi Addy, associated with security activities in the area. These claims remain unverified.
Residents are calling for an investigation to establish facts and protect the interests of all parties involved. They urge the Minister responsible for Local Government and the Inspector-General of Police (IGP) to ensure the dispute is resolved through proper legal and administrative channels. A petition is reportedly being prepared for the IGP, while the claimant indicates legal action against the MCE, with a writ served on October 15, 2026.
The community acknowledges the need for healthcare infrastructure but insists that land ownership issues be addressed legally. Attempts to obtain comments from the involved parties were unsuccessful, and no verified conclusions have been drawn regarding the land ownership or individuals' conduct. Further responses are anticipated as more information emerges.
