After several weeks of media warfare between the Kpone Traditional Council (KTC) and Sunon-Asogli Power Ghana Limited on one hand and Volta Aluminum Company Limited (VALCO) on the other, the KTC has finally decided to drag VALCO to court.

The action is to compel the smelter company to produce documents covering the 84.0-acre land, which the company claims, it acquired from TDC somewhere in 1962 for its operations.

This was disclosed by the Registrar of the KTC, Harry Attipoe at a meeting organized by the traditional council to brief representatives of the 10 clans in the area, on some of the important issues which took place in the area within the year.

Mr Attipoe briefed the meeting on matters arising from the release of portions of Kpone lands to Nana Brew Butler's REBTUB Company Limited and the infamous KTC-VALCO land saga.

At the meeting which was held at the Conference Hall of the Council last Friday, the Registrar said after all efforts to get VALCO to produce their documents covering the disputed land hit the rocks, the traditional council thought it wise to drag VALCO to court.

According to him, lawyers of the Council were vigorously filing documents at one of the High courts in Tema at the time of the meeting so that the issue of who owns the disputed land would be dealt with once and for all.

The Council, according to him, has released another 48.0-acres of land located about 400 meters south eastwards of the disputed land to Sunon-Asogli Power to enable it start work on the construction of the 560 mega watts of energy power, while they battle VALCO over the disputed one.

He revealed that Sunon-Asogli about three weeks ago started clearing the land so as to pave way for the Chinese company to conduct land and soil testing to ascertain its viability.

It would be recalled that VALCO is claiming ownership of an 84.0-acre land, which the KTC released to a Chinese company, Sunon-Asogli Ghana Limited to generate about 560 mega watts of energy to provide power to the whole country.

On RENTUB Company Limited, Mr Attipoe told the House that when the land was released to the company, some people who styled themselves as kingmakers in the area poisoned the mind of Nana Brew Butler. He thus became stubborn towards them, thereby, forcing the Council to seek redress at the Tema High Court.

Mr Attipoe observed that at the end of the day, the court ruled in favour of the Council and ordered Mr Butter to pay an amount of ¢1.2 billion to the Council, which he said, had been complied with.
