The Lands Commission refutes Speaker Alban Sumana Bagbin’s recent allegation that his official residence faced a potential sale to a private developer
This assertion, brought to light at the Speaker’s Breakfast Forum at Alisa Hotel, Accra, has stirred public outrage, raising concerns about possible institutional corruption within state entities.
Speaker Bagbin, expressing newfound awareness of the situation, unveiled his claims during the forum. However, the Lands Commission, represented by its Ag. Executive Secretary, Benjamin Arthur, issued a statement on November 20, categorically denying the validity of the speaker’s accusations.
In their official response, the Lands Commission emphasized that, contrary to Bagbin’s assertion, there was no instance where the property in question was sold to a private developer.
The Commission’s statement refuted the claim and proceeded to offer a detailed historical account of the property’s status since its acquisition in 1920 for government services.
