“I called the director of land, called the ES FCDA, called the Director, Urban and Rural planning and said, let me go and visit the place. That was on Thursday.
“I saw houses on top while they were blasting the rock. I said, What is this?
“Director, you people allocated
this rock to people? l said, something must be wrong with you people. Go and get me a memo, I’m going to
sign it now.”
“And I cancelled that allocation, this is wickedness. I told Dokpesi’s children, bring your papers, because what is wrong is wrong.
“The children were shocked. Why do I have to? you’ve seen what is wrong but simply because you don’t have a good relationship, you visit the sin of parents on the children.” “Everybody knows my position that politically I wasn’t in a good relationship with their father.
“But is that why i should continue when the man in question is not alive?”
“| said, ‘take back your property. I told them, go and withdraw the matter from court. I can’t be here and watch such things happen.”
