Solomon Darko Quarm added that the Assembly has officially written to the Ghana Refugee Board asking for the transfer of the Liberia Camp to the district assembly.
“The activities of some residents of Buduburam is giving us a bad name as people of Gomoa. Our plan to demolish the camp is not a knee jerk action just because the police and military team have been to the area. Their[Liberians] continues existence there allows their brothers from Liberia and some criminals use the place as a fulcrum to launch their criminal activities. If a Liberian wants to continue to stay in Ghana long after the camp has lost its refugee status, he or she can rent a house at any part of Ghana and vacate the place to be used for the intended project.”
