In a recent social media post dated June 19, 2024, Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa, the Member of Parliament for North Tongu, has made further allegations against Kwaw Worsemao Blay, son of former New Patriotic Party (NPP) Chairman, Freddie Blay.
Ablakwa published company registration documents showing that Kwaw Worsemao Blay’s company, Spartan-Ives Limited, was among the shortlisted entities in the controversial sale of Social Security and National Insurance Trust (SSNIT) hotels.
The MP’s post suggests that Kwaw Blay’s involvement in the SSNIT hotels sale comes after his alleged legal battle over a popular beachfront belonging to the state-owned Labadi Beach Hotel.
Ablakwa’s post reads, “Apparently, Freddie Blay’s son, Kwaw, has bigger plans for Labadi Beach Hotel beyond controlling its lucrative beachfront.”
He further states, “This latest information pointing to a spirited effort by Mr. Kwaw Blay to purchase SSNIT’s hotels after his infamous beachfront encroachment is certainly bound to create fresh credibility crisis for Mr. Freddie Blay who claimed only last week, amidst issuing threats, that his sons have never been interested in capturing or owning SSNIT’s hotels.”
Ablakwa has dared Freddie Blay to proceed to court over the allegations he has put out so far. He recently led a protest against the planned sale of some SSNIT hotels to Rock City Limited, a hotel conglomerate owned by agric minister Bryan Acheampong, and has submitted a 15-point petition to the presidency demanding the sale be canceled.
He is also pushing a private members’ bill against public officials buying state assets.
