LAND – CURRENCY FOR CORRUPTION: Real Estate Development are a conduit for Money Laundering…

Council of State defending Cecilia Dapaa in her hoarding millions of dollars and Money Laundering;

Lawyer Samuel Okudzeto claimed that there are many more people hoarding billions of Dollars in their homes and asked where Ghanaians think the money used in building the many plush apartments and skyscrapers in Airport, Legon, Cantonments and Labone are coming from if not from such persons…

This claim was made earlier by Hon. Sam George when he alleged that Real Estate developers are used as conduits for Looting Lands and laundering money.

The Executive Secretary of the Ghana Real Estate Developers Association GREDA confirmed that some of its members are indeed laundering money through land and built up property transactions.

Many corrupt State Officials, Galamseyers and crooked businessmen are hiding their unexplained wealth not in banks but laundering money through land transactions.

State Sponsored Stealing of State Lands and Bungalows in prime areas of Accra especially in Airport, Legon, Cantonments and Labone is rife.

Hon. Kennedy Agyepong accused the current NPP National Chairman Mr. Stephen Ntim of leading a State Land Stealing Syndicate at the Lands Commission during his tenure as the National Chairman of the Lands Commission; an allegation that must be investigated.

Fraudulent allocations of State Lands and Bungalows at ridiculous prices to third-party including officials of the arms of government, their families, friends and business associates is very common…

The former Chief Justice Sophia Akuffo paid GHc7000 for prime Cantonments State Land worth millions fraudulently allocated to her…

President Akufo-Addo must be compelled to immediately publish the status of all State Acquired Lands and Bungalows.

The plush apartments, hotels and other real estate developments springing up in Cantonments, Labone, Legon and the Airport area must be investigated…

The vast tract of State Acquired Lands stretching from the Airport City area including Police and Military installations, the 37 DVLA office, 37 Trotro Station and Taxi Rank are being stolen by faceless persons with the connivance of State Officials and facilitated by the Lands Commission.

Corrupt Government officials, Galamseyers and Crooked Businessmen are laundering money and buying their way to Parliament…

The Lands Minister, Samuel Abu Jinapor has been lamenting on national television that the people who are revered in our society drive around on weekends looking for State Lands and Bungalows with little or no activity then come to his office to pressure him to allocate these prime lands to them, he added that officials of the Lands Commission take files home and falsify the ownership of Land thus rendering records of the Lands Commission unreliable.

The various Political Parties including Independent Presidential candidates must state their official position on fighting Corruption, Galamsey, Money Laundering and Land Looting.

President John Dramani Mahama has promised to establish a Committee of Enquiry into the Looted Stolen State Lands and Expropriation of GaDangme Lands.

Vice President Bawumia as Flagbearer of the NPP as well as Alan Kyerematen and others must in the coming days speak to this vexed subject which will be the Key Election Issue.

The tussle between the Special Prosecutor, EOCO and the Attorney-General who are keen to clear Cecilia Dapaa as earlier posited by their appointing authority, President Akufo-Addo in his ill-advised response to her resignation letter that he is confident she will be cleared despite the evidence cannot become the new normal.

The last straw is the latest statement by a Member of the moribund Council of State, Lawyer Okudzeto prejudicial statements in defence of his client Cecilia Dapaa…
