Member of Parliament for North Tongu, Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa, has pledged to reveal the names of government officials who allegedly profited from the sale of state lands during the New Patriotic Party (NPP) administration.

Mr. Ablakwa's decision comes in response to the Lands Minister, Samuel Jinapor, who dismissed allegations of land grabbing and the sale of state lands under the NPP government.

The Lands Minister claimed that most of the lands in question were transferred to private individuals for development in the state's interest.

"The allegations of state capture and the narrative that this government is indiscriminately selling public lands, are all palpably false, without merit, and, obviously, actuated by political considerations given that we are nearing elections,” Lands Minister said.

Responding to this, Mr. Ablakwa contested the Lands Minister’s stance, accusing the government of complicity in the issue.

"We have come to the firm conclusion that the Akufo-Addo-Bawumia government is deliberately refusing to disclose the status of all public lands in our country because they are complicit. They know that when the full facts emerge, they will be exposed for the massive land grabs and unquestionable state capture they have engaged in," he said.

He threatened to expose the government on the matter should the minister dare him by failing to produce the data on all state lands.

He said government “under the guise of we are returning lands to stools, individuals, government takes a share of state lands.”

“We are revealing today and we are aware that government always takes a percentage of the land and then shares surreptitiously. If they dare us, we will publish in full the percentage they had in the Kumasi transfer and the people who are now beneficiaries,” he said.

He added “The Accra transfer – La Wireless lands, the 12 per cent that they took and the people they have sold it to. We dare the Lands Minister that he should attempt again to rope the NDC into their filthy state capture and the exposure we will make, it would be difficult for them to stay in this country.”

He claimed to be aware of the government's dubious activities and urged them to halt the sale of state lands and safeguard any remaining assets.
