The Member of Parliament for North Tongu, Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa, has joined calls for the dissolution of the board of the Social Security and National Insurance Trust (SSNIT) after the termination of the sale of 60 percent of its shares in four hotels to Rock City Hotel, owned by Agriculture Minister Bryan Acheampong.
Samuel Okudzato Ablakwa who first broke the news about the sale with support from Organized Labour and other unions, forced the termination of the sale.
Ablakwa told Citi News that the SSNIT board should not be allowed to stay in office after supervising the controversial transaction.
He said it was clear from the onset that the transaction was not beneficial to Ghana but the SSNIT board disregarded all the signs and due process and proceeded with it.
“Those who have perpetrated this state capture must pay a price. The SSNIT board has to be dissolved. The SSNIT board cannot tell us that they didn’t receive copies of the transaction adviser’s report. The transaction adviser told them that this was a bad deal.
“There is no bank guarantee. There is no value for money. There is no proof of funds. And yet, they went ahead, they were holding press conferences, writing epistles, defying Organised Labour, defying me, defending this stinky transaction and so they must pay a price.”
