Gbese Stool Warns Against Illegal Structures on Katamanto Lands
The Gbese Stool, under the leadership of Paramount Chief Nii Ayi Bonte II, has issued a stern warning against the construction of wooden structures on the Katamanto lands, emphasizing that the property is privately owned and not under government control.
Speaking at a press conference, Nii Ayi Bonte II reaffirmed the Gbese Stool’s ownership of the land and disclosed plans to partner with investors from April to develop the area for maximum utility.
While expressing sympathy for victims of the recent fire outbreak at Kantamanto Market, the chief firmly stated that unauthorized rebuilding activities on the land would not be tolerated.
“The land has an owner, so no one should take the law into their hands and build any wooden structures. We will not accept this attitude again. That is why we are having this press conference to inform everyone that we are bringing in investors from April to change the place,” he emphasized.
To enforce this directive, the Gbese Stool has established a task force to oversee the removal of unapproved structures. “We are cautioning anyone who has put up any structures without our permission to pull them down because we will be sending a task force to the grounds to ensure no one puts up any illegal structures,” he added.
