Following the "Hands Off Our Hotel" protest, President Akufo-Addo has arranged a meeting with Organised Labour on Tuesday, June 25, 2024, to discuss the controversial sale of SSNIT hotels.
This announcement was made by North Tongu MP Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa during an interview on TV3’s KeyPoints on Saturday, June 22.
"Organised Labour has informed me that the President has invited them to a meeting on the 25th of this month, which is Tuesday," Mr. Ablakwa revealed, expressing his hope that the meeting will not be an attempt to persuade Organised Labour to retreat from their opposition to the sale.
Mr. Ablakwa voiced his frustration, stating, "I’m so disappointed in this President that he has taken so long to intervene in this scandalous matter and just stop this rot."
Amid mounting concerns, President Akufo-Addo has invited Organised Labour for a meeting on Tuesday, June 25, 2024, to discuss SSNIT's controversial decision to sell 60 percent of its shares in several hotels.
These include prominent establishments like Labadi Beach Hotel, La Palm Beach Hotel, Ridge Royal Hotel, and Busua Beach Hotel, with Agriculture Minister Bryan Acheampong identified as the buyer.
The issue gained traction following a demonstration led by Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa on Tuesday, June 18, 2024, under the banner "Hands Off Our Hotels."
Ablakwa presented a petition urging the President to intervene and halt the sale.
During the demonstration, Ablakwa raised concerns about the suitability of Bryan Acheampong's Rock City Hotels as the buyer, citing alleged financial losses and failure to file tax returns for 2022 based on documents purportedly intercepted from the Ghana Revenue Authority (GRA).
In response, Bryan Acheampong denied to substantiate his claims with the alleged intercepted documents from GRA.
