The late Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of the Forestry Commission (FC), Kwadwo Owusu Afriyie’s will has proven the old saying that the frog length is determined when it dies.

Indeed, the once General Secretary of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) Mr Afriyie also known as Sir John, death has unwrapped several secrets hidden from the public eye.

Sir John was put in charge of the FC to protect Ghana’s forest reserves but documents pummelling social media platforms alleged that he did exactly the opposite.

Although it is against the customs, norms and traditions of Ghana’s cultures to speak ill of the death, these rules were overwhelming thrown to the dogs, due to the impunity at which Sir John allegedly misconducted himself.

The deviation from protecting the country’s resources couldn’t keep Ghanaians from talking and lambasting Sir John in his grave.

Some section of the public had wished that the mortal remains of Sir John would be exhumed to face the wrath of the people, and also serve as a deterrent to others.

Sir John is said to have allotted to himself and bequeathed same to his immediate family plots of land in the Achimota Forest perpetually.

Sir John’s Will has infuriated the already angry Ghanaian who thinks the Akufo-Addo government faulted for signing an executive order that released 30% of the Achimota Forest back to the purported land owners.

This decision has raised several public suspicions, as Akofu-Addo is believed to be hiding behind the executive order as a modus operandi to steal state lands for his family, friends and cronies.

At the time the government through its Lands and Natural Resources Minster Samuel Jinapor was busily doing damage control, the seal concealing Sir John’s rots got broken.

Mr Jinapor has so far stated that the ministry would investigate the matter without any assurance of timeline.

But the documents claimed to be the Will of Sir John revealed the late FC CEO also had interest in Sakomono wetlands, a protected site, and equally took possession of part and bequeathed same to his relatives.
