Greater Accra Minister disowns Kaajaano demolition exercise
Linda Ocloo, the Greater Accra Regional Minister, has disassociated her office and local authorities from the demolition of structures at the Kaajaano fishing community in the La Dadekotopon Municipality. This followed an operation that displaced several residents.
The demolition took place in the early hours of Saturday, April 11. Eyewitnesses said the exercise began around 6 a.m. and involved bulldozers and other heavy machinery. During a visit to the area on Sunday, April 12, Linda Ocloo expressed concern over the incident, stating that "REGSEC was not informed of this operation, nor was the MCE, and even your MP had no prior knowledge of it." She assured affected residents that steps would be taken to provide temporary shelter and respond to their immediate needs.
Clemence Gyato, the Chief Executive Officer of Anyok Holdings, defended the exercise, describing it as long overdue. He explained that the demolition followed years of engagement with occupants and was necessary to reclaim encroached state land for a planned coastal development project.
