The Ministry of Works and Housing has denied allegations made by MP for Assin Central, Kennedy Ohene Agyapong that the official residence of the late Justice Marful-Sau is for sale.
According to Mr. Kennedy Agyapong, there was a collusion between a former Chief Justice and the sector Minister, Francis Asenso-Boakye to sell the official residence of the late Justice Samuel Marful-Sau.
But in a statement dated January 14, 2024, the Ministry of Works and Housing refutes adding that the residence is under the Government Redevelopment Programme (GRP).
“The Ministry strongly refutes the allegation and states that there has been no such sale of the property. The facts are that the current development taking place at the official residence of the late Justice Marful-Sau forms part of the Government Redevelopment Programme (GRP).
The ministry further explained that, “the said land has not been sold as it is mischievously been alleged and remains the property of the State. The GRP is rather a cost-effective undertaking which ultimately gives optimal benefit and ensures efficient use of government lands.”
In the past weeks, Kennedy Agyapong revealed that he will expose fellow corrupt MPs who attacked him during his campaign for the NPP flagbearer race.
Citing various names including MP for Bantama, Francis Asenso Boakye, Mr. Agyapong mentioned that the MP who doubles as the minister for Works and Housing, engaged in corrupt activities during his tenure at the Presidency and should not be re-elected.
Other MPs targeted by Mr. Agyapong include, MP for Nsawam Adoagyiri, Annoh Dompreh, Awutu Senya East MP, Hawa Koomson and MP for Sefwi Akontombra, Alex Tetteh Djornobuah.
