Rubber tapper Opanin Garibah has called on President John Mahama to pay fair compensation for his 6.4 acre land. This property was heavily affected by the ongoing Accra Kumasi Expressway project. Losing a major source of livelihood without proper financial settlement leaves families stranded and struggling to survive daily.
Road infrastructure brings massive economic development to Ghana but poor project compensation hurts ordinary citizens. Opanin Garibah explained that tapping rubber remains his only business and surviving without his farm is extremely difficult. Government agencies must speed up valuation processes so affected property owners receive their money promptly.
Appealing directly to state authorities shows the deep frustration local landowners face during major highway expansions. President Mahama and the relevant ministries need to review these grievances and settle genuine compensation claims without delay. Justice for ordinary workers builds strong public trust in national infrastructural projects.
