The Ghana Armed Forces (GAF) High Command has denied media reports suggesting the release of a portion of some 114 acres Burma Camp Lands to the La Traditional Council.
In a statement dated September 26, 2023, GAF said, that although there are ongoing discussions by a Committee set up by the Minister for Lands and Natural Resources to deliberate and recommend possible measures to resolve the land issue, it has not received any directive from the Ministry of Defence to release the land to the La Traditional Council.
The statement stressed that, “Neither has any government agency directed the Ghana Armed Forces to release any land to any Traditional Authority. Indeed, those lands remain a critical need of the Ghana Armed Forces for the preservation of State security”.
