I'll gift 'liar' Ablakwa my Trassaco house and hotel in Akosombo if his tax evasion claims are true - Bryan dares MP
The owner of Rock City Hotel, Bryan Acheampong, has emphatically stated that his famous luxurious hotel is not incurring losses as claimed by the NDC Member of Parliament for North Tongu.
Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa, the NDC Member of Parliament for North Tongu, and Sammy Gyamfi, the National Communication Director of his party, had suggested that the Kwahu-based hotel is not turning a profit, according to a document they claim to have intercepted.
However, Mr. Bryan Acheampong, who serves as the Minister for Food and Agriculture, told Media General journalist Nana Yaa Brefo that the allegations are untrue, after describing the duo as 'liars'.
He challenged Mr. Ablakwa, who claimed to have a document supporting his claims, to make it public.
"Rock City is not making losses. No one anywhere can say that Rock City is incurring losses. I saw Okudzeto and Sammy Gyamfi in the studio making noise. Okudzeto, wearing a smock, exaggerated that Rock City is making losses and that he has intercepted documents from the GRA."
"He has not intercepted any documents. Everything he is saying is lies. There is nothing truthful about what Okudzeto said concerning that matter. In the first place, Rock City has informed me, and I have checked with the GRA, that they have not even filed their 2023 taxes yet.
"So, they have not filed yet. Rock City has not even gone to the GRA; they plan to file at the end of the month. So where did he get the document from? What he is saying is fabricated and a lie.
"Rock City has not even filed its 2023 taxes. They are due by the end of June. So where did he get it from? Today, I am daring him," Mr. Bryan Acheampong said.
He added that he owns a house at Trassaco, which he bought in 2014 and does not use, and a hotel in his constituency, the Akosombo Intercontinental Hotel, which he will gift to the NDC Member of Parliament if all his allegations prove true.
"He should prove it, and I will gift it to him or any orphanage of his choice," he dared Okudzeto Ablakwa.
