Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa, the Member of Parliament for North Tongu, has released a new list of government officials and politically exposed individuals allegedly acquiring state lands during President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo’s administration.
Among those named are former Finance Minister Ken Ofori-Atta and former Chief Justice Georgina Theodora Wood, who are both said to have purchased land in the upscale AU Village/La Wireless area in Accra.
Ablakwa disclosed these details on Friday, August 23, 2024, via his social media, continuing his parliamentary efforts to expose alleged state capture.
In his post on X (formerly Twitter), Ablakwa shared documents he claims show the sale of public lands by President Akufo-Addo to his relatives, appointees, and other affiliates of the ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP).
The list also includes Akwasi Aboagye Atuah, Board Chair of SIC; Dr. Janet Ampadu Fofie, Chairperson of the Presidential Emoluments Committee; and Kwabena Mantey Jectey Nyarko, a board member of the Ghana Airport Company Limited.
These individuals are reported to have purchased land on various dates between October 2020 and December 2023.
Ablakwa’s post highlights the specific dates and details of these transactions, alleging that they reflect a broader pattern of state lands being sold to those connected to the current administration.
