North Tongu Lawmaker Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa has said that he will continue to cooperate with the Commission Human Rights and Administrative Justice (CHRAJ) investigations into the sale of the hotels belonging to the Social Security and National Insurance Trust (SSNIT) despite the discontinuation of the sale by SSNIT.
He said there was a need to get to the bottom of this matter.
“We will continue with the SSNIT investigations,” he said on the Key Points on TV3 Saturday July 13.
Ablakwa further said that the board of the SSNIT should be dissolved without delay. To him, the board failed to manage the assets of SSNIT.
“The SSNIT board must be dissolved without delay,” he said on the Key Points on TV3 Saturday, July 13.
“They must all go, they have done a great disservice to the people off Ghana,” he added.
His comments come after SSNIT announced its discontinuation of the sale of the 60% shares in the four hotels.
This comes after several labour unions announced their decision to embark on a nationwide strike following approval by the National Pensions and Regulatory Authority (NPRA) for SSNIT to procced with the sale of 60% shares in the four hotels.
A statement released by SSNIT on Friday, July 12 announced to the public the termination of the controversial sale of the shares in the hotels.
“The Board and management of Social Security and National Insurance Trust (SSNIT) wish to inform the public that the process to divest 60% of SSNIT’s stake in the hotels has been terminated,” Board Chair of SSNIT Elizabeth Akua Ohene said in the statement.
SSNIT assured pensioners and contributors of managing the affairs of the Trust “prudently for the sustainability of the Pension Scheme.”
