The Hogbetsotso Za Local Planning Committee finds itself at the center of controversy as plaintiffs file a lawsuit in the Sogakope High Court, accusing committee members of mismanagement and mishandling of funds.

Titled “Hogbetsotso Planning Committee Sued: A Closer Look at the Case,” the lawsuit has been brought forth by plaintiffs AHIALENGOR ALBERT WA2/1153 and ATSU TETTEH, who are also representing the Anlo Progressive Youth for Accountability and Development (APYAD). The plaintiffs are undertaking this legal action against several key figures, including AWADADA AGBESI AWUSU II, TORGBI ZEWU III, GAS LADZEKPO, CILAS AIDAM, DAN ABODAKPI, and AGBOTADUA KUMASAH.
