Fise residents call for investigation into proposed CHPS compound

Residents of Fise in the Ga North Municipality have called on the relevant authorities to investigate a land dispute involving a proposed Community-based Health Planning and Services (CHPS) compound.

The dispute centres on a parcel of land that a claimant says belongs to him and on which construction work on the proposed health facility has reportedly commenced.

According to the claimant, the Ga North Municipal Assembly previously issued a building permit for the property after the required fees had been paid. He alleges that construction of the proposed CHPS compound began later, raising concerns about the ownership status of the land and the circumstances surrounding the project.

The claimant says he has attempted to resolve the matter through the appropriate channels, including contacting the Municipal Chief Executive, Hon. Akwetey Agbo, and reporting the issue to the police.

However, he claims those efforts have so far failed to yield a resolution and that he was advised to seek redress through the courts.

He further says he has initiated legal proceedings and informed the relevant police division that the matter was before the court. According to him, construction activities have continued despite the ongoing dispute.

The circumstances surrounding the project and the status of the legal proceedings could not be independently confirmed.

The claimant has also raised concerns about his interactions with the Amasaman Divisional Police Commander, Peter Adjei. He alleges that the commander threatened to arrest him in connection with the disputed property. The allegation has not been independently verified.

Questions have also been raised by the claimant about the possible involvement of other individuals, including Nathaniel Noi Addy, whom he identifies as a WO and associates with security activities in the Ga North area. Their respective roles, if any, in the dispute could not be independently established.

Some residents say they want the matter investigated to establish the facts and ensure that the interests of all parties are protected.

They are calling on the Minister responsible for Local Government and the Inspector-General of Police (IGP) to examine the concerns and help ensure that the dispute is handled through the appropriate legal and administrative processes.

The residents say a petition is being prepared for submission to the IGP. The claimant also says he has initiated legal action against the MCE, with a writ reportedly served on October 15, 2026.

While acknowledging the importance of providing healthcare infrastructure for the community, the residents insist that concerns over land ownership must be addressed through the appropriate legal procedures.

Efforts to obtain comments from Akwetey Agbo, Peter Adjei and Nathaniel Noi Addy were unsuccessful before publication.

The allegations remain unverified, and no conclusion has been reached regarding ownership of the disputed property or the conduct of the individuals mentioned. The parties concerned will have an opportunity to respond as further information becomes available.
