According to reports, the MCE gave staff and customers just 10 minutes to vacate the premises over unpaid property rates.
However, there was a heated confrontation between members of the Ledzokuku Constituency Municipal Assembly, led by their MCE, Isreal Adjetey, and some senior staff of the China Mall in the area, following the instruction to all workers to vacate the mall and close it down due to unpaid permit fees.

“We are locking this place because you have not paid. Can I go and do this in your country? You can be here for 100 years, but you have to pay,” she said.
The foreign national at the China Mall stated, “We can discuss this, but you can’t tell me to go out. I have been here for 15 years. Why are you talking like that, madam? Every year, we pay for everything”.
