So are you saying those that were pulled down were not creating jobs. the law is the law and must work. they secured a court order against all who have businesses in that area and not only you. If indeed you are educated, then you would not want to go up against the law. it is commendable that you want to do something for yourself but the law shouldn't be flouted in the process. Since we don't live in the stone age, you cant do as you please.
You know sometimes I have the feeling I am staying in country that really either is visionless, missionless, planless, empitiness all combined. Since when did AMA decided to enforce this green belt zone thing. The thing is you cannot create jobs and you are quick to destroy the few that individuals are striving to birth.Why was she allowed to build in the first place. I would have excused AMA, if we happens to be living around 1900-1945. But the world woke after the second world war. We are still dozing. Do not be surprise when we wake up and AMA wants to break down the Kotoka International Airport because it is lying on the Red Belt Zone.
please stop bragging and do the proper thing, do not go against the laws or by-laws.
love the spirit...keep keeeping on!
@TT i side with u on the last part, cos those who have suffered it before will complain of some gimmic going on so the AMA must act as professionals too
oooh, so this was the reason why Shatta Wale suddenly decided to sing the praises of Nana Addo eh? This is another for of corruption. Allow the law to work. The AMA must 'down' the illegally sited structure IMMEDIATELY. Otherwise, all other who might have suffered such fate be allowed to operate at their locations.
