Minority Leader Alexander Kwamina Afenyo-Markin has reiterated he does not believe Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa rents his Airport Hills home.
Afenyo Markin noted that Ablakwa says he stays at Airport Hills and claims he only earns from the 15,000 cedis he gets from parliament.
According to Afenyo Markin, who in this country would stay at Airport Hills and rent, he added that it is built and owned.
The minority leader is quoted by GHONE to have said, “I still don’t believe Ablakwa rents his Airport Hills home he says he lives in”.
Speaking in an interview on JoyNews on Sunday, February 2, 2025, Afenyo-Markin, “They are acting childish, and they are creating an impression that they are righteous. That is why they cannot boldly say that they own a property at Airport Hills. That is why they say, ‘My wife takes care of me. I am a tenant.’
Who in this country would stay at Airport Hills and rent? That place, you build to own. The covenant in the agreement is that it is owner-occupation”, he added.
“I will not say that because of politics, somebody who has committed a crime should not face the law. But if you go to Cantonments, you go to Chain Homes, the entire Chain Homes was state land that a private developer acquired from the state.
Why is the so-called ORAL not interested in going to Chain Homes to question all the property owners that you have looted? If you go to Cantonments, all these huge apartments, all owned by the Turkish, the Lebanese, Syrians, Indians, British, Americans, all investors from all parts of the world, including Ghanaians, are on state lands. When Mr Ablakwa was talking about looting, there were some big men behind him who I know own state land at Ridge, huge acreage”, he added.
