All is set for Ablakwa-led demo against sale of SSNIT hotels

A demonstration to be led by the National Democratic Congress (NDC) Member of Parliament for North Tongu, Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa against the sale of four Social Security and National Insurance Trust (SSNIT) hotels to Rock City Hotel Limited, owned by Ghana’s Minister for Agriculture Bryan Acheampong, is set to take place on Tuesday, June 18.

Mr Ablakwa says the open protest is to compel the president to stop the sale of these hotels.

At a news conference at the press centre on Monday, June 17, he confirmed that all arrangements for the demonstration are complete.

He was optimistic for a peaceful protest and assured that individuals attempting to incite chaos would be dealt with by the Ghana Police Service.

Mr Ablakwa also mentioned that he anticipates officials from the presidency will meet the demonstrators and receive their petition for submission to the president.

The former Deputy Education Minister reiterated the importance of the demonstration in ensuring that the sale does not proceed, highlighting the urgency and significance of their cause.
