They will sell it. So whoever put it out there that the government was selling the Achimota forest, to a very large extent, got it right.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Mr. Suhuyini also said the Executive Instrument, E.I. 144, declassifying portions of the Achimota forest as a reserve, was a red flag in itself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIf the government had not issued the E.I. declassifying that area, one would have been forgiven to still think that whatever development will take place, they will still be in consultation with the Forestry Commission and will be ecologically friendly to whatever will remain of the forest.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The E.I. is in relation to 361 acres of Achimota forest that the government is returning to its custodial owners, the Owoo family.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While, the government has also said there is an accompanying E.I., 154, which says the area of the forest returned shall remain a forest reserve, among other safeguards, Mr. Suhuyini said these are vague assurances.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cHow many people in this city have built without a building permit? How many communities have sprung up without any plan?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cOver the years, we do know that we don\u2019t follow these things, but what we know has served as well is that when an area is declared a forest reserve, certain developments don\u2019t take place there,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>SEND A STORY:<\/strong>\u00a0Do you have a story for us or need a promotion\/advertisement?
