Sale of SSNIT Hotels: Time to declare our own version of what happened in Kenya – Ablakwa
North Tongu MP, Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa, is calling for a massive demonstration similar to the recent protests in Kenya, in opposition to the sale of four SSNIT Hotels to Rock City, a company owned by Agric Minister Bryan Acheampong.
In Kenya, widespread youth protests recently forced the government to withdraw a finance bill containing controversial tax hikes. The demonstrations escalated, resulting in the burning of their parliament on Tuesday, 25 June 2024.
Mr. Ablakwa, referencing these events, criticised President Akufo-Addo for not halting the sale of SSNIT hotels, even after meeting with organized labor earlier this week. Despite a demonstration dubbed ‘Hands Off Our Hotels’ against the sale, the President has remained steadfast.
Mr. Ablakwa further accused Akufo-Addo's appointed SSNIT board chair, Elizabeth Ohene, of justifying the deal despite overwhelming opposition from Ghanaians and protests from labour representatives on the board.
He asserted that President Akufo-Addo is the chief architect behind this controversial deal and, in a Facebook post, declared that it’s time for Ghanaians to launch their own version of Kenya’s recent protests.
He urged Ghanaians to stay tuned for a major announcement soon.
