La Traditional Council kicks against redevelopment of La Pleasure Beach without consultation

The La Traditional Council and Member of Parliament for La-Dade-Kotopon, Rita Naa Odoley Sowah, have expressed their displeasure over plans to redevelop La Pleasure Beach without proper consultation. The Council argues that the redevelopment should not proceed until they are formally engaged with other affected stakeholders. They were not notified before the demolition of structures at the facility, despite being key stakeholders and traditional landowners.

The Council's 4th La Shikitele, Nii Adjei Koofeh IV, acknowledged that redevelopment could benefit the state if it generated more value from the site. However, he expressed dissatisfaction with the manner in which the demolition and redevelopment process began, stating that they were unhappy with the lack of engagement. National Security and SSNIT have apologized for not involving the traditional authorities before the demolition exercise, leading to an understanding that the redevelopment process should follow appropriate procedures and include proper consultations.
