The President of Ghana, John Evans Atta Mills, has condemned the murder of Mr Andre Meyer, 49, a Zimbabwe-born British investor, suspected to have been killed in a land-related dispute. Mr Meyer in the company of his workers was shot by unknown assailants on returning from his farm at Juapong last Tuesday. President Mills at a meeting with the chiefs and elders of the Volo Traditional Area, at Juapong, in the Volta Region, condemned the dastardly act, and promised that government would do all it can to bring the perpetrators to book. President Mills was on a day�s working visit to the region, and used the visit to commiserate with friends, the chiefs and people on the loss of the investor. The President underscored the contributions of investors to economic growth the world over, and said an investor must have a special reason choosing Ghana to invest over other countries. �We all have to join the Government to seek and find out the killers, �President Mills appealed. �Nobody came with land, nobody came with land, nobody came with anything.� President Mills said God rather want the land to be developed for the present and future generations, and suggested that genuine agreements have to be entered into with investors for benefits that would accrue to both sides. The President assured the people that, the development of the Volta Region was a matter of great concern, and urged the people to renew the mandate of the ruling National Democratic Congress (NDC) in Election 2012, to continue with progress so far made in governance.
