Minister of Lands and Natural Resources, Kwaku Asumah-Cheremeh, who described the action of the workers as unlawful, said the destruction of the property will not add up to their salaries.
He said the most appropriate approach was for them to engage management and put forward their grievances.
The Awasohene , Nana Kwame Amponsah condemned the action of the workers. He wondered why anyone would destroy the place that feeds them.
