Okudzeto Ablakwa, can you tell Ghanaians if you know any NDC officials who have also bought State properties? Don’t close your eyes to the Truth but be honest with yourself.

Kwaku Ananse story. Why did Kufuor return all government lands in Kumasi to Asantehene but sold government lands in Accra to himself and friends? He should have returned the Ga Adangbe lands to the original owners. Jake initiated the process. Akomea should stop telling lies. Accra beautification was under Jake. It was a clear conflict of interest matter as Justice Sophia Akufo noted.

That is exactly why he should have stayed away from purchasing it. How do we know that it wasn't all planned in his favour, especially now that we know how you have sold government property among yourselve?

You politicians and selling and sharing things as if they are the spoils of war, except that there's no war.

How very fortuitious, that the house was being put on the matket just when the minister of state was vacating it! This is not like manna from heaven at an opportune time. No. This is the work of unseen hands, pulling the strings and scheming behind the scenes to ensure the house was available to the minister at the right price at the right time.

Wasn't he the same person who made the decision to sell beaches of Ghana, then parts of Accra? What a sly defence. These days even the stupidity is getting devalued.

Why doesn't Okudjato the crusader not mention the sale of 200 SSNIT flats at Sakumono to the first parliamentarians from 93 to 97? Was that state capture?

Jake was the archetypical neocolonialist lackey who could not see beyond personal advantage. His thinking was myopic on all issues. One day, his story will be told and the truth will be known.

I don't blame you Nana Akomea,I blame that professor do little who allowed the reckless state capture and blatant corruption under the corrupt and old crook kuffour to go unpunished under his regime. It has emboldened the criminals the Akim mafia cartel to also rob and pillage Ghana with gross impunity, knowing that the next government will do zilch to them. Professor Mills was not just cut for the presidency.

MAHAMA REQUESTED TO BUY VP RESIDENCE

There is documentary evidence of request made by JDM to purchase the official residence of the VP. Let's take this matter of buying state property out of party colors and deal with it. If we need a law which makes it illegal for public officials to buy state property Let's see how to craft it and make it water tight going forward. No party which has been in power before will be guiltless if we pull the records.

LOOTING GHANA GOVERNMENT ASSETS AND MAKING UP LIES TO MASK THAT LOOTING. AKOMEA IS A LIAR.

Akomea is a liar. Obetsebi lived in that government bungalow, had it rehabilitated at a great cost at tax payers' expense, and then decided to buy that property so that he can turn it into a hotel once he left office. Government residences are not meant for sale. That sale was just one of NPP's looting of Ghana government assets. Akomea should be ashamed of himself for condoning NPP corruption with his his lies. That purchase was a corrupt act masked as a sale. Can Akomea point to any low level government employee who has ever decided to purchase their government-provided housing even though such housing was not intended for sale? What a bunch of shameless thieving politicians.

Nana Akomea does not even know how to lie convincingly. The house that the late Obetsebi Lamptey lived in as a minister was a state owned property. Akomea claimed Obetsebi bought the land and the house when it was being sold . If the property was state property, who was the one selling it . Is it the state that was selling it clandestinely so that Obetsebi Lamptey could buy it ? This property is assigned to ministers of state and so ministers will not have to rent or buy places to live in while serving their country . So why was the property being sold and by whom . Nana Akomea should tell us something more convincing than this ananse story . This was another form of state capture. The NPP are good at that .
