Citi News reported that he singled out the Ablekuma West Municipal Chief Executive, George Kpakpo Allotey, and spatial planning officers.
"I am putting the MCE of Ablekuma West, the Municipal works engineer, and the planning offices on the spot. I am going to report to the Regional Minister. Some of these people must be sacked.
"We are doing work for life to smooth, and people are going behind our backs to do the wrong things.”
“They should sack all of them... They should come and check everyone here if they have permits, and if they have permits, then they should sanction whoever issues the permit for the people to build on the water land.”
