Some bigwigs of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) have been accused of purchasing lands that belong to the state.

On social media platform X, a user @Newsgh360, has provided a list of some individuals in the opposition who have engaged in state capture.

The list includes former President John Evans Atta-Mills, Professor Kofi Awoonor, and former Attorney General Betty Mould Iddrisu, among others.

Per the user, in 1996 and 1997, the Sakumono SSNIT flats which had been officially designated as the residence of Members of Parliament of Ghana were sold to NDC MPs whose term had just ended.

It is important to note that TIGPost is presently unavailable to verify the authenticity of this list. Also, the accused individuals are yet to react to the matter.

In a related development, Minister of Lands and Natural Resources Samuel Abu Jinapor claims to have evidence to prove that the sale of government lands occurred under previous administrations, including those of Presidents Kufuor, Mills, and Mahama.

Mr Jinapor made this revelation while addressing concerns over recent land transactions and the current administration's handling of the issue.

Speaking on JoyNews' Newsfile on July 20, 2024, Jinapor emphasized that the problem of state land sales is not unique to the Akufo-Addo government.

He stated, “I have a litany of land sales in Cantonments, Ridge, Roman Ridge, Airport, and Labone, which were sold under President Mahama’s administration, as well as under Presidents Kufuor, Mills, and Rawlings.” He argued that focusing on which administration sold what land only serves to distract from addressing the systemic issues that have plagued successive governments.
