Allegations And Counter Allegations: Ghanaians Seek Clarity on SSNIT – RockCity Hotel Claims

In a developing controversy surrounding the sale of SSNIT hotels to RockCity Hotel, owned by New Patriotic Party (NPP) law maker Bryan Acheampong, North Tongu Member of Parliament (MP), Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa faces mounting pressure to substantiate his claims.

The issue, initially brought to public attention by Hon. Ablakwa, centers on assertions that shares of SSNIT were sold to the hotel, implicating Dr. Acheampong, the Minister of Agriculture.

Recently, Hon. Ablakwa escalated the discourse with a demonstration involving key figures from the National Democratic Congress (NDC), alleging financial losses at RockCity Hotel. He cited documentation from the Ghana Revenue Authority (GRA) as evidence of these claims.

In response, Hon. Acheampong vehemently denied these allegations and publicly challenged Hon. Ablakwa to produce the purported documents. The Agric Minister even offered to gift properties to Hon. Ablakwa should the claims be validated, including a house purchased in 2014 at Trassaco Estate and a hotel in North Tongu, where Hon. Ablakwa serves as MP.

As concerned citizens advocate for transparency and accountability, they urge Hon. Okudzeto Ablakwa to provide conclusive evidence within 24 hours.

“This demand underscores a commitment to uphold integrity in public discourse and safeguard the reputations of individuals and businesses contributing positively to Ghana’s development,” Samuel Nana Yaw, convener of the Concerned Citizens Group wrote in a statement.
