Christian groups have gathered to pray against the recent increase in entrance fees for activities at Achimota Forest. The fee hike, from GH¢1 to GH¢10, has sparked outrage among believers who fear the new charges may deter people from visiting the forest. They suspect that this decision could be part of a scheme to drive them out of the forest.
The Public Relations Officer of the Ghana United Pastors Association, Samuel Asare, addressed these concerns in an interview with Adom News. He refuted claims that Achimota Forest is not a suitable location for prayers, dismissing them as mere ignorance. Asare emphasized that many pastors who run prayer camps in the forest already pay a monthly land permit fee of GH¢20 to the Forestry Commission.
They argue that the current entrance fee hike is unjust and request the authorities to reconsider their decision.
