Stan Dogbe challenges lands minister: bring evidence of 2015 sale of parliament land.

Journalist Stan Xoese Dogbe has challenged the minister for lands and natural resources, Samuel Abu Jinapor, to provide Ghanaians with the records available at the Lands Commission on the sale of the official residence for Clerk of Parliament.

The minister in a statement to parliament, without any official records, said the land was sold in 2015 and not 2019 as claimed by the Parliamentary Service Board.

The minister also failed to disclose the identity of the private developer who bought the said land, and also failed to prove that the land was sold in 2015.

Challenging him to strict proof, in a post on Facebook, Stan Xoese Dogbe, who is also an Aide to the former President John Mahama, challenged the minister to provide proof of his claims.

“Since he was speaking in a “house of records” and he has the facts, how come none of the reports have indicated who the developer/ buyer is, correspondence showing the date of sale in 2015 and who the signatories from both the Lands Commission and Ministry were, evidence that a lease was entered into in 2015 for the said developer etc?”

Read a couple of threads quoting lands minister Samuel A. Jinapor as saying that the Clerk of Parliament’s official residence was sold in 2015 and not 2019.

Since he was speaking in a “house of records” and he has the facts, how come none of the reports have indicated who the developer/ buyer is, correspondence showing the date of sale in 2015 and who the signatories from both the Lands Commission and Ministry were, evidence that a lease was entered into in 2015 for the said developer etc?

I am happy Mr. John Dramani Mahama has promised to institute a full scale investigation into the sale of government lands, because even the squatters around can see what the folks at the Lands Ministry and Land Commission are doing with state lands in and around Cantonments, Airport and Labone.

And they pay the Lands commission paltry sums, while huge amounts are collected under the cover of darkness. That commission of enquiry will be revealing and grave!!!

But for now, Samuel Jinaporr should help the people of Ghana with the documentary evidence of the said sale, details of payments and receipts to refute the claims of the Parliamentary service board.
