President Akufo-Addo slams SSNIT hotels sale controversy as ‘needless’

President Akufo-Addo has described as needless, the controversy that greeted the decision to cede some interest in hotels owned by the Social Security and National Insurance Trust (SSNIT) to his Minister for Agriculture, Bryan Acheampong’s Rock City Hotels.

North Tongu Member of Parliament Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa, in partnership with organised labour staged a protest culminating in a nationwide industrial action over what they saw as a distress sale of the hotels, including a profitable one, to a government appointee.

Organised labour subsequently revealed plans to reform its representatives on the SSNIT board.

However commenting on the matter at the 12th Quadrennial Delegates Congress of the Trades Union Congress, President Akufo-Addo indicated that the controversy was unnecessary.
