How public lands valued at $500,000 were sold to Akufo-Addo appointees for only $12,000

Martin Kpebu, a member of the planning committee for Operation Recover All Loot (ORAL), has revealed surprising results.

Speaking on TV3's KeyPoint program on Saturday, January 18, 2024, Martin Kpebu said that the Akufo-Addo government offered several tracts of land to vegetable exporters for $12,000.

The astute private legal practitioner criticized the situation, raising questions about the scope of alleged state capture during the previous administration.

According to Martin Kpebu, the records made accessible to the ORAL preparation committee indicate that the Akufo-Addo administration may take all state properties.

He emphasized that Ghanaians behaved timely and appropriately by not voting for the NPP, which would have plunged the country into an irreversible disaster.

"The vegetable farmers group was requested to pay $500,000 for a single parcel of land. That is where they store the vegetables before exporting them. Just adjacent to them, the same land was offered to ministers and others for GHC160,000. If you convert it, it equals $12,000.

"It is in the same space. The documentation exist, and the land is located near Cantonments. We are working to retrieve all of the documents. If we had given them another chance, Ghana would no longer exist. This state capture should end. Members of the previous administration paid $12,000 for the land, he claimed.

Martin Kpebu previously claimed that former NIB CEO Nana Attobrah Quaicoe offered to return a state land he reportedly purchased at a low price.

Kpebu told TV3 that Nana Attobrah made the gesture in response to the ORAL preparation committee's discovery.

Speaking on the broadcast, Kpebu remarked, "The Director of the National Investigation Bureau, formerly the BNI, contacted Okudzeto in response to the lobbying surrounding the land problem and stated that he would return the land and drop his claim. He asked to be barred from further involvement."

However, Nana Attobrah disputed his charges and vowed to sue him.
