The Ga-Adangme Youth Group has expressed serious concerns regarding the treatment of Dr. Daniel McKorley, a prominent entrepreneur and notable figure from the Ga-Adangme community, following recent incidents of demolition and harassment directed at his properties. The group has called for immediate action from the Government of Ghana, the National Democratic Congress, and other relevant stakeholders.
In a press statement, the youth group articulated their disappointment over the government’s actions, which they believe are unjust and politically motivated. They highlighted the significant contributions Dr. McKorley has made to the Ghanaian economy, including job creation, tax contributions, and investment in infrastructure development.
The group specifically condemned the destruction of warehouses along the Tema-Afao Motorway, which they argue threatens the livelihoods of many and undermines economic stability in the region. They emphasized that Dr. McKorley’s efforts have also extended to supporting social intervention programs that benefit vulnerable populations in Ghana.
“Dr. McKorley is not just a businessman; he is a son of the Ga-Adangme land who has dedicated his resources to the betterment of our community and the nation at large,” the statement read. “His contributions should be recognized and appreciated rather than met with hostility.”
In their demands, the Ga-Adangme Youth Group called for an immediate halt to the demolition and harassment, urging the government to engage in dialogue to address their concerns and seek mutually beneficial solutions. They also insisted on the protection of Dr. McKorley’s investments and properties.
The group concluded their statement with a warning, urging the government to take their demands seriously. They expressed their commitment to standing in solidarity with Dr. McKorley and indicated that failure to address the situation could lead to unforeseen consequences.
As the situation unfolds, the Ga-Adangme Youth Group remains vigilant, emphasizing their determination to safeguard the interests of their community and its members.
