A leading member of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) has warned that the seat of government would soon be sold to private developers
Agbesi Nutsu speaking on Adom FM Wednesday said his fear is heightened by the rate at which state lands are being sold to private developers in the country.
The latest, he said, is the sale of the Pantang Mental Hospital lands to private developers which has led to a sit down strike by workers of the facility.
“Very soon, the Flagstaff House, the seat of government would be sold to private developers, why are we selling state lands to private developers? See what is happening to Pantang Lands, is a shame…,” he said.
Striking staff of the Pantang Psychiatric Hospital are set to hit the streets today, Wednesday, 12 July 2017 to protest against what they say is the illegal takeover of lands belonging to the hospital.
This action comes on the back of a two-day sit-down strike which begun on Monday, 10 July during which only in-patients and emergency cases were attended to, a situation that affected OPD healthcare services.
The move, according to the staff, is to draw government’s attention to the dangers private developers pose to health workers and patients at the facility.
Today’s protest may lead to the shutdown of the facility, despite a planned visit by the Health Minister.
The views of Agbesi Nutsu was shared by a Lecturer of the Central University, Benjamin Okyere Ankrah who insisted the workers must be praised for such making such a move.
“This is the first time workers are demonstrating not for increment of their salaries but in the interest of the facilities in which they work, God will bless them for that…,” he said.
The duo therefore called on the government to do something about the fast rate at which state lands are now been sold to private developers.
They argued that the state would soon not have lands to build on especially in Accra since there is a fast takeover of state lands by private developers who are friends and cronies of politicians.

I thought the NDC said some time back that the Flagstaff house is a hen-coop so what changed that they are now interested in a hen-coop. and what is the big deal of selling a hen-coop?

INWARD LOOKING, TROKOSI BELIEVING, CAT EATING, ETHNOCENTRIC, TRIBALISTIC ***barred word***
kORSHIIAA! IS NOT HIS ***barred word*** PARTY THAT SOLD THOSE LANDS??? WHAT DID HE SAY THEN??

When NDC sells is OKK but when is NPP wahala but what this big head must know is this government is not incompetent like his party and they have Ghana in heart not in their stomach like NDC
After NDC had sold the land in question together with others like Asylum Down, Surveying School lands, what is this agent of the same party telling us? Mind you we the Ghanaian people no longer have short memories.
will peacefmonline sometimes spare our ears and eyes messages from such political neophytes. This guy like Koku hadly make any meaningful arguments or statements.Please we are tired their ignoramus.
Agbesi Nutsu,look the evil that men do lives after them and what goes around d comes around. Your h*te for some section of the good people of Ghana is eating you up and hunting you. What evil plan you plot comes to expose you and the more the good people of Ghana hate ndc. I tell you your ndc will never be an option of a bad governance in this country. If you ndc who called the flagstaff house refurbished by President Kuffuor a poultry farm didn't sell it but found it a habitable place for human beings how much more those who built that edifice? When did ndc think or know Ghana needed a palace? And today they are telling those critical thinkers the flagstaff house will be sold who is going to sell it? If ndc the mother of all kriminals couldn't do it then who? You people are real evils in Ghana. Ndc is something that will never happen to Ghana again. Somebody tell them to stop annoying majority of Ghanaians with their nons*nse talk. We don't care what their die hards will listen because they are minority and can't put them in power and they can't decide for the whole good people of this country. Ndc can go to hell or can drink Korle Lagoon who cares about their us*less noise making. They making their party more unattractive.
These inward looking people have not learnt any sense
