Members of the Ga Traditional Council demand an immediate halt to the illicit construction of a hostel for head porters (Kayayei) in Accra.

A statement signed by King Tackie Teiko Tsuru II, Ga Mantse, and President of the Ga Traditional Council, noted that the Council has not been contacted nor has it been engaged in prior discussions on the establishment of the facility at Agbogbloshie.

It thus served notice that any person or group that wishes to proceed with the hostel project for “Kayayei”, should seek a new site outside the city.

“The Ga Traditional Council under the leadership of its President, Ga Mantse and the people of The Ga State, remain vehemently opposed to this Project,” the statement said.
