Starrfmonline.com reports that scores of shop owners operating around the Nima private residence of President Akufo-Addo have been given up to next week March 15 to vacate the area.
The website gathers operatives of the national security have visited the area and started giving out compensation packages to the shop owners.
The compensation package ranges between GHC3000 and GHC10,000.
However, the shop owners have indicated that the compensation is woefully inadequate considering the fact that their source of livelihood is being taken from them.
“They have given us the money but we are not happy about the amount. Some of us have been here for more than 20 years and all we could get is GHC3000. How do I take care of my family of six with this small money? I have been selling Gari and Beans here for 22 years, now I have no place to go and sell and they want me to move by next week,” one of the affected persons told Starr News Mawuena Egbeta.
It’s, however, uncertain why the President has failed to move to his official residence although he works from there on daily basis.
