Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa, the National Democratic Congress (NDC) Member of Parliament for North Tongu, is set to lead a demonstration against the sale of four Social Security and National Insurance Trust (SSNIT) hotels to Rock City Hotel Limited, owned by Ghana's Minister of Agriculture, Bryan Acheampong.

The demonstration is scheduled to take place on Tuesday, June 18, with the aim of compelling the president to prevent the sale of these hotels.

Mr. Ablakwa confirmed during a news conference at the press center on Monday, June 17, that all arrangements for the demonstration are complete. He emphasized the peaceful nature of the protest and warned that individuals attempting to incite chaos would be dealt with by the Ghana Police Service.

He also mentioned that he anticipates officials from the presidency will meet the demonstrators and receive their petition for submission to the president. The demonstration is seen as crucial in ensuring that the sale does not proceed, with Mr. Ablakwa highlighting the urgency and significance of their cause.

"We have agreed with the police on the condition that the representatives of President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo will walk from the Jubilee House and meet us at the Christ the King Catholic Church to receive our petition," Mr. Ablakwa stated.

He has already petitioned the Commission on Human Rights and Administrative Justice (CHRAJ) to investigate the transaction. However, he feels compelled to take this additional step because, despite widespread opposition, information he has obtained indicates that the process to finalize the deal is still ongoing. He expressed concern that the deal could be completed before the Commission concludes its inquiry and believes it is necessary to exert extra pressure on SSNIT to halt the transaction.
