Information reaching Radio 1 indicates that, Atiwa Forest in the Eastern region and other side of Kyebi land was used as a collateral for the 15billion US dollars Chinese loan because the Atiwa Forest would serve as a Bauxite zone which will generate income for the development of the nation.
According to source, Nana Akufo- Addo in his 2016 campaign said, the Atiwa Forest at Kyebi in the Eastern region would be serve as a Bauxite zone.
But speaking on Radio 1 evening show dubbed ‘’Bekyerem’’ with host Owuraku Asamoah, Mr. Alkins Ofori, member of the opposition National Democratic Congress NDC communication team in the Abuakwa south constituency in the Eastern region vowed to lead a demostration against government decision on Atiwa Forest.
