John Dramani Mahama, the flagbearer of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), has vowed to establish a Commission of Enquiry to investigate alleged misappropriation of state lands and to address the longstanding grievances related to expropriated Ga-Dangbe lands.This commitment was made during the launch of the NDC manifesto in Winneba, Central Region, on August 24, 2024.

Mahama’s pledge is a response to rising concerns and accusations that officials within the Akufo-Addo administration have been involved in the unlawful sale of state lands to favored individuals.Despite strong denials from the government and the Ministry of Lands and Natural Resources, Mahama insists that, if elected in the upcoming December 7 polls, his administration will thoroughly investigate these claims.

The proposed Commission of Enquiry will focus on uncovering the truth behind these allegations and making recommendations to resolve the issues, with particular attention to the Ga-Dangbe lands, which have been a source of dispute for many years.Mahama emphasized his commitment to safeguarding the integrity of public lands and ensuring that any unlawful transactions are rectified.
