Member of Parliament (MP) for North Tongu, Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa, has made startling allegations against President Akufo-Addo’s daughters, claiming they own a marijuana company named Good Grow Limited along with several other businesses.

Mr Ablakwa disclosed these details during a live TV discussion with Sammy Gyamfi, the Communications Officer for the National Democratic Congress (NDC).

He highlighted that Good Grow Limited was formed shortly after the legalization of marijuana for industrial purposes was approved by Parliament in July 2020.

“Once again Gyankroma Akufo-Addo, Edwina Akufo-Addo, and Steven Okoro, who serves as the company secretary, registered Good Grow Limited immediately after the approval of cannabis for industrial use. Their principal activity is to grow cannabis,” Ablakwa stated.

According to Ablakwa, the President's daughters, Edwina and Gyankroma Akufo-Addo, along with their friends, have established a total of forty-two companies across various sectors in Ghana since Akufo-Addo took office.

He said they are involved in numerous other enterprises spanning multiple industries including mining, microfinance, and agriculture.

“Between Steven Okoro and Edwina Akufo-Addo’s close friend, Alvin Mensah, they have set up 42 companies across different sectors. They are doing brisk business, and I have evidence to back these claims. The Auditor General’s report highlights insider dealings and inflated invoices, indicating politically exposed persons are exploiting their positions, causing significant financial loss to the state,” Ablakwa asserted.
