The wall which was marked on January 31,  2011 is to be demolished for a span of 18 feet into the house of the  former President.<br \/>\nThe 18 feet distance from former President  Kufuor\u2019s wall would definitely affect the main building of the immediate  past first gentleman of Ghana. The house Kufuor shares wall with would  be demolished 10 feet within. In a period of about two weeks, the AMA  has marked certain structures along the rail lines between Accra and  Tema for demolishing.<br \/>\nThe first of these markings took place at  the Kantamanto market where it is estimated that more than fifteen  thousand would be displaced from their place of livelihood when indeed  most of these people have been selling in the Kantamanto market for more  than twenty years.  The AMAs latest demolishing is to create a distance  of 100 feet away from the lines to pave way for the construction of new  railway lines, it is claimed. But this time around, the Mayor of Accra  has gone to some of the most sensitive areas in the capital city. The  places affected are Airport West, Airport Residential area, Dzorwulu and  Roman Ridge. It is clear that most of the prominent people reside in  these areas. Some residents who are to be affected by the impeding  demolition have said they had an agreement with the Ghana Railway  Company in 1996.<br \/>\nThe agreement stated that all their new  structures should be 50 feet away from the rail lines and that is what  they have complied with all these the years. More than 150 houses and  100 structures have been marked for demolition between Shangri-La  Overhead and Dzorwulu. Africa Regent hotel, popularly known as Hotel  Kufuor is the first to be marked for demolition. Former President  Kufuor\u2019s house which is almost 90 feet away from the rails lines, is the  11th building marked for demolition.<br \/>\nOther prominent  personalities to be affected by the action of the AMA boss are former  Chief of  staff, Kwadwo Mpiani and Member of the Council of State,  Alhaji Asumah Banda whose house and a two-million dollar mosque are to  be demolished. Mr. Adenuga, the CEO of Globacom Telecommunication  Company\u2019s building is also marked for demolition though it is more than  70 feet away from the rail lines. Alhaji Salia\u2019s mosque is as well to be  demolished despite the amount of money invested in the  project. Many  other highly placed personalities are all to be affected including Vice  President John Mahama\u2019s new mansion being put up at Airport West.<br \/>\nThe  current conduct of Mr. Alfred Vanderpuye has raised unrest in the  National Democratic Congress. Information available to the Daily  Searchlight newspaper indicates that the project for which Mr.  Vanderpuye is busily demolishing structures is scheduled to commence in  2012. The agreement hasn\u2019t been sent to the Ministry of Finance, not to  even talk about cabinet approval for Parliament to certify the  agreement.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Accra Metropolitan Assembly has marked the wall of former President John Agyekum Kufuor\u2019s house to be demolished in a matter of days.
