Ghana's Forestry Commission must act now to stop Akyem Juaso's thriving illegal bushcut chainsaw lumber production, not tomorrow

Ghana's Forestry Commission's top brass, ought to act now, not tomorrow, to stop Akyem Juaso's open-secret: Family members of mine, chief amongst whom is Kwame Thompson, that useless son of my late cousin, Nancy Thompson, who are growing super-rich (by working in tandem with our dismissed - by moi - very, very corrupt and criminally-minded former overseer, Red Awuku, and his thoroughly dishonest and greed-filled family), from leading the thriving illegal bushcut chainsaw lumber production that still goes on, regularly, in our P. E. Thompson family's freehold (bought in 1921 and 1926 for £1,000, and consolidated into one upland evergreen rainforest property, by my late Grandpa, P. E. Thompson Esq., with the concurrence of Nana Ofori-Atta 1 - his close friend, whom he bankrolled generously: to help him educate some of the more than 150 offspring he sired in total).


What irritates moi the most, is that in reality, my late Grandpa, in addition to the officially declared purchase price of £1000, actually forked out a total of £5,000 (including an additional undeclared off-ledger payment of £4,000, to the powers that be, then, in Akyem Abuakwa).


Today, some of his clueless Akyem. Kwabeng successors, have the gall to demand the title deeds from, moi, on pain of losing what is our family's privately-owned freehold upland evergreen rainforest property. Is this not a nation of laws, anaaa, I ask? And, are we too not Akyem royals with family-tree-roots in Akyem Osiem? Haaba. Hmmm, ey3nsem piiiiii, oooo, Ghanafuo. But I digress, dear reader.


The question is: Why, for decades now, if there is only one route linking Akyem Juaso to the Accra-Kumasi highway, at Osino Junction, has the Forestry Commission's local officials, and those of the security agencies, still failed to the halt the thriving illegal bushcut chainsaw lumber production, and galamsay, going on in our 14-square mile freehold Akyem Juaso rainforest property, part of which (99.6 acres) actually lies inside the Atewa Forest Reserve, and which in your own Forestry Commission jargon, is referred to as an admitted farm?


Why, is our family too now one of Akyem Abuakwa's privileged-untouchable-elites, anaaa? Ebeiiii. If yes, then that is most certainly news to moi, oooo. Cool.


Finally, dear Forestry Commission top brass, please, please, please, act boldly now not tomorrow,, to halt what are egregious crimes against humanity, in what is part of the Atewa Range's designated Globally Significant Biodiversity Area (GSBA), ooooo. Y3nma Okyenman ens3i, da, oooo. Yooooooo...
