Ranking Member on the Foreign Affairs Committee of Parliament, Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa, expressed his frustration over the Akufo-Addo government’s decision to proceed with a contentious sale of Social Security and National Insurance Trust (SSNIT) hotels despite widespread public condemnation.
In an interview with Accra-based Ahotor Fm monitored by MyNewsGh.com, Ablakwa bemoaned the NPP administration’s apparent disregard for public opinion, organized labour, and civil society groups that have vehemently opposed the deal.
“This is just unbelievable, those saying these hotels are not good, and these hotels are not profitable, these hotels won’t help Ghana, so you want to sell it out are saying they will buy them. If the hotel is a bad business why is the Minister of State doing all he can to buy? It doesn’t make sense,” he explained.
