The Minister for Information and Presidential spokesperson, Dr Mustapha Abdul-Hamid has described as completely false media reports that shop owners and traders around the private residence of President Akufo-Addo were given only a week's notice to vacate the location.
A statement issued by the Presidency and signed by Dr Hamid said the leadership of the artisans and traders requested for a six-week grace period from National Security, beginning from the last week of January 2018, to enable them to move which was granted.
The statement also disclosed that Akufo-Addo personally paid compensation packages from his own resources to some of the traders and artisans after National Security had concluded negotiations with them.
It said a group of artisans, describing themselves as “the Junior Masters”, who were not beneficiaries of the initial compensation, in a letter to President Akufo-Addo, dated February 25, 2018, appealed to the President to be included in the compensation package, a request to which the President has accepted.

I laughed saaaa.... @ ROW that was the plained truth.But free edu is only understood by a section of lazy and irresponsible individuals naturally incapacitated to be responsible.
Some times I get so alarmed. He should not have allowed the squatters to be there in the first place. Even in my own small residence, several people have requested to mount some stall of a kind to sell something there but I have always refused them. If at a point in time you want them to leave, it becomes a problem. No one should fault the president.In the security of the household, it is better for the squatters to move.
In other words the President orchestrated, endorsed and sealed the expulsion of ordinary men and women from their humble abodes in the name of security. Haba Ghana!
@ ROW, Your grammar stin.ks. Free SHS yaazo!
