Bryan Acheampong Defends Rock City Amidst Allegations Made by Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa

Bryan Acheampong, the Minister for Food and Agriculture and MP for Abetifi Constituency, has urged the Member of Parliament for North Tongu, Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa, to desist from attempts to destroy his company, Rock City Hotels Limited.

Mr. Acheampong, the owner of Rock City Hotels Limited, stated that the allegations made by Mr. Ablakwa, which suggest wrongdoing in Rock City’s proposal to purchase 60% of shares in SSNIT’s four hotels, are false and baseless.

He, therefore, registered his displeasure directly to Mr Ablakwa on Accra-based Joy FM on Tuesday, during a joint interview.

“You are just adding things together and trying to destroy me and trying to destroy Rock City. It is most unfair, it is ‘un-Ghanaian’ and you should stop it,” he told Mr. Ablakwa.

The confrontation follows Mr Ablakwa’s petition to the Commission on Human Rights and Administrative Justice (CHRAJ) to investigate and stop the sale of SSNIT’s 60 percent stake in the hotels belonging to the Trust.

The hotels under scrutiny in the petition include Labadi Beach Hotel, La Palm Royal Beach Resort, Elmina Beach Resort, Ridge Royal Hotel, Busua Beach Resort, and the Trust Lodge Hotel.
