    Wrote on comments made to Kennedy Agyapong's land encroachment.... Below that was said unknown source . Paramount chiefs be made signatory to land sales, big mistake and I disagree. Some chiefs and practices are aliens and not by indigenous rights own land, customs and other traditional rites. Remember the warrant chiefs infused and their mandate expiration. No transposed facts applications in land and othet matters. Once upon some time in Ghana such became a major source for chieftaincy conflict . Right people will seek to replace by indigenous and other legal rigths , ... rites, though they still could demand replacing without that , of course with less conflict.
