Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa, MP, North Tongu The Member of Parliament for North Tongu, Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa, has wondered why the sales of government lands are done in utmost secrecy without any form of transparency and approval from the people who are the real owners of these state lands. This was after he told the Minister of Lands and Natural Resources, Samuel Abu Jinpaor that contrary to his comment that the government is not selling state lands, the President, Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo has been busy doing so. Ablakwa said this is based on intercepted documents from the Lands Commission. His comment comes at a time when Abu Jinapor had denied allegations of public officers acquiring state lands in a manner that offends the ethics of public officers. Addressing a press conference in Accra on Wednesday, August 13, Jinapor asked the people making that allegation to provide evidence to back the claims to enable appropriate actions to be taken.
