Minority caucus backs ‘hands off our hotels’ demonstration
The Minority in Parliament says they fully support the ‘Hands off Our Hotel’ expected to commence on Tuesday June 18, 2024.
The demonstration will start from the Labadi Beach Hotel to the seat of government, Jubilee House where the organizers will present their demand to the presidency.
Social Security and National Insurance Trust (SSNIT) is almost done with the deal of selling its 60% shares in Labadi Beach Hotel, LA Palm Royal Beach Resort, Ride Royal Hotel, and Elmina Beach Resort to Rock City Hotel.
The Minority in a statement signed by Chief Whip, Governs Kwame Agbodza called on the public to join in the demonstration to stop the sale of the SSNIT hotels.
According to the Minority, the move to sell off the hotel is wrong.
“We, therefore, want to use this opportunity to indicate the Minority’s strong opposition to the sale of these hotels to the Minister of Agriculture, Hon Bryan Acheampong, and urge the public to join Tuesday’s “Hands Off Our Hotels Demonstration” to send a strong signal to the government that the people of Ghana take exception to this shady deal. Enough is enough!
“The attempt to sell off profitable state-owned hotels to Hon. Bryan Acheampong is wrong, unacceptable, and must not be condoned.”
