Specifically, the land in question is owned by the Ghana Health Service and is currently occupied by the Nurses Training College and School of Hygiene.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe engaged with the relevant stakeholders, including the Boards of the School of Hygiene and Nurses Training College, the\u202fPrincipals, and the Lands Commission, to bring this project to fruition. Notably, there is a documented agreement in place that ensures the two institutions will also benefit from the facility, not just the Ho Municipal Assembly staff.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>He went on to state that \u201ca sod-cutting ceremony was held to mark the commencement of the project, and I encourage those with questions to verify the information through the aforementioned institutions.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Mr Bosson said he considered the misinformation going round as a public deception as the matter was also bearing on his image as a public figure, and therefore would pursue legal action.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m concerned about the spread of misinformation and hope that we can rely on factual accounts to guide our understanding of this matter. Throughout my service, I have diligently worked for the betterment of Ho and Ghana, and I remain committed to transparency and accountability.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI have instructed my lawyers to take immediate action to protect my reputation and clear my name,\u201d he stated.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, a group calling itself the \u201cCoalition of Volta Youth Against the Sale of Government Lands, has called on the President to extend the ORAL to various regions and districts in the country.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>According to Stanley Nelvis Glatey, the Convener of the coalition, state lands in the Volta Regional Capital had been lost to individuals, and therefore the Operation would be required in preserving the crucial assets for future use.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>GNA\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By Samuel Akumatey\u00a0 Ho, Jan. 20, GNA \u2013 Mr Richard Divine Bosson, the immediate past Municipal Chief Executive Officer (MCE) of Ho, has threatened legal action over viral claims that a ten-unit housing project in the city was his personal property.\u00a0 A video circulating on social media shows the buildings neatly lined up and all [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[25],"tags":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-279825","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","6":"category-politics"},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.3 -
