Keta (VR), May 23, GNA – The Seven Member committee inaugurated by Mr James Gunu, the Volta Regional Minister, to investigate reclaimed land issues at Keta has requested the public to provide necessary information that could help speed investigations.

The committee said the move would enable them to complete their investigations within the stipulated period for the progress and development of the Municipality.

A press statement released and signed by Mr Innocent Gavuah, Municipal Coordinating Director, on Thursday, and copied to the Ghana News Agency, disclosed that committee would carefully study all pieces of information provided for necessary actions.

“The investigative committee set by Regional Minister on Keta reclaimed land has started it work and has begun receiving vital information on lease or sale, development among other of the reclaimed land,” it stated.

Mr Gavuah also explained that in order to complete investigation works within the stipulated time, the committee has directed that all persons and groups or associations that have further information about the reclaimed land issues should carefully write it, seal it into envelope and address it to the chairman of the investigative committee and drop it at the office of the Municipal Chief Executive, Mr Wisdom Seade.

It continued that all information should be brought within working hours from Thursday, May 22 to Thursday, June 5, to help speed investigation as well as resolve all speculations and allegations about the reclaimed land.
