The Coalition of La Associations and the GaDangme Coalition Against Land Injustice will kick off a series of demonstrations today, Tuesday, July 30, to protest what they deem as unethical land seizures by political entities in the Greater Accra Region.
The groups are mobilising to address grievances regarding land acquisitions they believe have been carried out improperly.
The demonstrations will focus on the Trade Fair land, an area that includes Labadi Beach and the La Palm Royal Beach hotels.
The coalition claims that the original landowners have not been adequately compensated as required by law.
In addition to the Trade Fair land issues, the groups have also expressed alarm over the Prisons Service lands at Cantonments.
They allege that a private developer is planning to redevelop the area and utilize part of the land for private business purposes, raising questions about the legitimacy and impact of such plans.
Meanwhile, the Defence and Interior Committee of Parliament is expected to visit the Ghana Prisons Service Barracks at Cantonments and the Ghana Prisons Service land at Roman Ridge in Accra today.
This visit aims to address the concerns raised by the youth groups and provide clarity on the ongoing disputes.
The visit by the parliamentary committee comes in response to the mounting pressure from the demonstrators, who have called for urgent intervention to rectify what they describe as injustices.
