Labadi Beach Hotel and 5 other hotels to be sold by SSNIT to Bryan Acheampong: Ablakwa alleges.

Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa has alleged that, Labadi Beach Hotel and 5 other hotels are about to be sold to the current Minister of Agriculture.

Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa, the Member of Parliament (MP) for North Tongu, has officially petitioned the Commission on Human Rights and Administrative Justice (CHRAJ) to look into claims pertaining to the Social Security and National Insurance Trust’s (SSNIT) sale of six hotels to Dr. Bryan Acheampong.

“As I earlier disclosed on Metro TV’s Good Morning Ghana programme, I have today successfully petitioned CHRAJ to investigate and stop the sale of SSNIT’s hotels to the Hon. Bryan Acheampong.

“Intercepted documents in my possession confirm that SSNIT is far advanced in selling a controlling 60% stake in six of its hotels to Rock City Hotel Limited owned by Hon. Bryan Acheampong, the MP for Abetifi and Minister for Food and Agriculture,” Ablakwa said in a Facebook post.

According to Ablakwa, the hotels under consideration for sale are; Labadi Beach Hotel, La Palm Royal Beach Resort, Elmina Beach Resort, Ridge Royal Hotel, Busua Beach Resort, and the Trust Lodge Hotel.

Ablakwa through his petition to CHRAJ is requesting an investigation into various allegations, including conflict of interest, abuse of power, lack of due process, procurement breaches, cronyism, and graft.

“I have also drawn attention to blatant violations of Article 78(3) and 98(2) of the 1992 Constitution as diligent checks from Parliament’s Committee on Office of Profit reveal that Hon. Bryan Acheampong has not applied and does not have the permission of the Speaker of Parliament to hold an office of profit,” Ablakwa noted.
