It is completely outrageous for anybody to make such suggestions”
The Lands Minister also described the alleged allegation as palpably untrue.

We are now at a stage where the construction is going to begin in the not-too-distant future. We are determined to reconstruct the Appiate community into a model modern Ghanaian rural community which is fit for purpose and will serve as an example for the future“
