The Managing Director for the State Transport Company (STC), Nana Akomea, has debunked claims that he has approved the sale of the Stadium Hotel in Kumasi.

Some leading members of the National Democratic Congress, on their social media platforms, shared a letter suggesting Nana Akomea had sanctioned the sale of state property.

They, through their posts, suggested state capture by the governing New Patriotic Party and called on the people of Ghana to reject the NPP as a result.

But reacting to the said letter and the claims by people who have been sharing the letter on social media, Nana Akomea said:

“I have seen some posts on Facebook claiming Nana Akomea has sold STC property, the Stadium Hotel, in Kumasi. The posts also include a copy of a letter, proving the sale.

I am trying to understand these posts as:

No MD of a state company can sell any property of the company.

The Stadium Hotel in Kumasi does not belong to STC.

The letter attached to these posts clearly refers to a tenancy agreement between STC and Stadium Hotel, which tenancy agreement, approved by STC’s management and Board, has yielded considerable financial gain to STC.

I assume the people who posted are patriots, expressing some concern about a state company. But at least, they should read the document that has raised their concern? It’s a half-page letter that can be read in 30 seconds.”
