It is however envisaged that, when funds become available in 2018, the Training School would be completed for commissioning and operationalization. In the meantime, it is envisaged that occasionally, some Jungle Welfare exercises from Akim Achiase Jungle Welfare School will be conducted on the disputed land.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Dominic Nitiwul told Parliament in July 2017 that the government had decided to take over the land to serve as a military base.<\/p>\n<p>He told the House that he believes the move will help resolve the over a century old conflict between Nkonya and Alavanyo that has resulted in the loss of many lives.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe on our part the security we\u2019ll start training in that particular area, the structures have already been put there, to ensure that the security is permanently present there because we need land to train so if people have land and they give to us to train and they are disputing over it, we will go and use that place to train,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>The Volta Regional Minister, Archibald Letsa, had earlier hinted of government\u2019s plan to take over the land, adding that both factions; Nkonya and Alavanyo had agreed to the takeover.<\/p>\n<p>Mr. Letsa on a visit to the area after a shooting incident, said government was determined to ensure that  lasting peace prevails in the area to pave way for accelerated development, but lamented that the two feuding factions are not giving peace a chance, a situation that has virtually turned the two traditional areas into ghost areas, starving them of the needed investment to stimulate growth.<\/p>\n<p>He however assured them that as soon as sanity returns to the area, he will do whatever it takes to move investments there.<\/p>\n<p><!-- uploaded by: 50 updated by: 50 --><\/p>\n<p><!-- Start of html generated by this->footer() -->\n<\/div>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a style=\"display:none\" rel=\"follow\" href=\"http:\/\/megatheme.ir\/\" title=\"\u0642\u0627\u0644\u0628 \u0648\u0631\u062f\u067e\u0631\u0633\">\u0642\u0627\u0644\u0628 \u0648\u0631\u062f\u067e\u0631\u0633<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>General News of Wednesday, 20 December 2017 Source: citifmonline.com 2017-12-20 Dominic Nitiwul, Minister for Defence Defence Minister, Dominic Nitiwul, has told Parliament that government is aiming at completing the construction of a military training school on the disputed Nkonya-Alavanyo land in 2018.
