Oterkpolu (E/R), July 29, GNA - The Klo-Begoro Farmers Association has expressed worry about the delay in payment of compensation to them for crops destroyed by a company mining limestone in the area.

The farmers have therefore petitioned Mr Samuel Ofosu-Ampofo, the Eastern Regional Minister, to have the situation addressed.

In a petition signed by Mr Moses K. Kudji, the Chairman, Mr Okrah M. Amanor, the Secretary and Mr Akufo Narh, said the undue delay in payment of compensation to them by A.J. FANJ Construction, the company engaged in the mining of limestone was having a negative effect on them and their families.
