North Tongu lawmaker, Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa, has criticized the Minister of Lands and Natural Resources, Samuel Abu Jinapor, for failing to publish the list of all state lands and persons who acquired government lands two and half years after parliament made that request.

However, Ablakwa said, two and half years after the Miniter requested enough was enough for him to compile the list and provide it to Parliament "For 2 and half years he hasn't provided the list," Ablakwa said on the Key Points on TV3 on Saturday, August 17. "When I heard he was going to address the press conference I thought he was going to publish the list, that is what we wanted to see. "If he president can't account for the state lands all of us should be deeply worried."

Addressing a press conference in Accra on Wednesday, August 13, Abu Jinapor asked the people making that allegation to provide evidence to back the claims to enable appropriate actions to be taken. Answering questions at the event, he said "there is a question about selling public lands to public appointees.
