Ghanaian Member of Parliament Kwame Asare Obeng, known as A Plus, has outlined the actions he took to address concerns over the Gomoa land dispute that risked escalating into violence, according to a report by Joy News on September 3, 2026. Rejecting claims that the government neglected his warning, A Plus stated that the Ministry of Interior acted upon receiving his letter.
He had previously written to the Lands Commission seeking clarification on the boundaries between Gomoa Central and Effutu to prevent confrontations over administrative and traditional disputes. The Lands Commission subsequently provided a detailed report that clarified the land boundaries. A Plus also wrote to the Ministry of Local Government regarding the Gomoa Central District's boundaries and to the Ministry of Interior about electoral votes being incorrectly allocated to Effutu.
He raised questions regarding a police station named Effutu North District Police Headquarters, which was named despite the Ghana Police Service report indicating the location was within Gomoa Central, potentially causing confusion about land ownership. A Plus recommended renaming the station to Gomoa Akronkwanta Police Station to prevent further tension.
Despite engaging the Ministry of Interior, no resolution has been reported a year after the initial alert.
