James smith live in zone 8 with his family of four years and is considering returning to liberia in june2013.who is going to pay me for my investment into this house?my house has an inside toilet,bathroom,kitchen and a sitting room.I spent over $700 to put up this building And if i am leaving refugee board and UNHCR have to pay me back or I 'll sell it to someone.''The refugee board said very small number of houses that were given to some refugees free of charge by both Government and UNHCR when they arrived in Ghana in the early 1990s, most ot the building in buduburam and by extension the adjacent villages,were either built directly by the refugees themselves or were asked by land owners to pay fees for more then there year in advance.
The camp received a face-lift beginning in 2000kue to commitment of the refugees themselve and not because of any sustained financial support form any special groupings.retrning home,it remains to be seen how they go without their temporary safe homes in buduburam.
