The Ghana Atomic Energy Commission (GAEC) has expressed concerns over the illegal acquisition of lands surrounding the Ghana Radio Astronomy Observatory (GRAO) at Kuntunse, Ga West Municipality, Greater Accra Region.
The land, acquired over 40 years ago to support satellite observation, data collection, research, and training in Space Sciences, has been taken over by private developers, which is now impacting the efficiency of the facility.
Addressing a news conference following a tour of the Observatory on Tuesday, the management of the GRAO raised alarm over ongoing construction near the facility, warning that the observatory could become “useless” if those activities continued.
