Member of Parliament for North Tongu and leader of the ‘Hands off our Hotels’ demonstration, Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa, has announced plans for a second protest in the Central Region.
Following the June 18 demonstration demanding the government halt the sale of 60 percent shares in four SSNIT-owned hotels to Rock City Hotel, owned by Minister Bryan Acheampong, Ablakwa took to Facebook on June 20 to announce the upcoming protest.
Ablakwa assured the people of the Central Region that their concerns regarding the sale of Elmina Beach Hotel and Ridge Royal Hotel had been acknowledged.
He stated,”May I respectfully assure the revered chiefs and good people of the Central Region who have called us for a patriotic partnership to stage the next #HandsOffOurHotels demonstration since they are vehemently opposed to the sale of Elmina Beach Hotel and Ridge Royal Hotel both in the Central Region that we have unanimously agreed and resolved to hold a similar massive protest in the Central Region if President Akufo-Addo fails to stop the sales within the next few days,” Ablakwa posted.
