Member of Parliament (MP) for North Tongu, Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa, has hinted that lands under the Parks and Gardens have been sold out by the Akufo-Addo-led administration.
In a recent interview with TV3, Ablakwa disclosed that he was informed by an insider about the transaction.
According to Ablakwa, insider revealed that employees were confronted by individuals claiming to be the new owners of the land.
“Are you aware that the parks and gardens have been sold? They called me that they went to work one day and some people showed up that they are the new owners,” he added.
Ablakwa expressed his alarm over this development, highlighting the importance of preserving public lands designated for recreational and environmental purposes.
He criticized the lack of transparency surrounding the transactions and called for a thorough investigation into the matter to uncover the parties involved and the legality of the sales.
Ablakwa, known for his vocal activism, recently led a protest titled ‘Hands off our Hotels’ on June 18, 2024.
The demonstration was aimed at urging the government to halt the sale of 60 percent shares in four SSNIT-owned hotels to Rock City Hotel, which is owned by the Minister for Food and Agriculture, Bryan Acheampong.
He has also announced a second phase of the protest in the Central Region, reassuring residents that their concerns about the sale of Elmina Beach Hotel and Ridge Royal Hotel have been acknowledged and will be addressed.
