This is in reference to allegations by North Tongu MP, Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa‘s that the property in question was illegally acquired as state property.
A statement issued by the Lands Commission on Tuesday (10 September), said it is evident that Asaase Broadcasting Company Limited has no interest in the property which is the subject matter of the suit between the Judicial Service of Ghana and the Lands Commission and others.
“The land described as No. 7, 5th Circular Road, Cantonments, which is the subject matter of Suit No. LD/0526/2023 intituled Judicial Service of Ghana v The Lands Commission, Frimps Oil Company Ltd and the Attorney-General is separate and distinct from the land occupied by Asaase Broadcasting Company Limited at Cantonments. This land has never been owned or occupied by Asaase Broadcasting Company Limited.
“Following the commencement of the Suit by the Judicial Service of Ghana, the Lands Commission, on 19th July 2023, applied for further and better particulars in respect of all the lands mentioned in the suit, and requested for the site plans of the said lands. This is because the Commission accurately identifies land by the appropriate site plans, and not by house numbers.”
“The Lands Commission noted that the site plans submitted by the Judicial Service of Ghana showed that the property described as No. 7, 5th Circular Road, Cantonments, and lastly occupied by Justice F. G. Korbieh, formed part of a public land acquired by a Certificate of Title dated 7 June, 1920 for Government Services,” the statement said.
“From the above, it is evident that the Hon Minister of Lands and Natural Resources did not make any false claim when he responded to the Hon MP’s allegation in respect of the Judicial Service land at Cantonment,” the statement further added.
