Persons involved in the botched sale of some SSNIT hotels must have their appointments terminated for failing to protect the interests of Ghanaian workers, the Member of Parliament for North Tongu Constituency, Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa, has said.

This comes after SSNIT announced the termination of the process to divest 60% of their stakes in four hotels: Labadi Beach Hotel, La Palm Beach Resort, Ridge Royal Hotel, and Elmina Beach Resort.

While describing the termination of the sale of the four hotels to Rock City Hotel as an awesome victory for Ghanaians, he called for the termination of appointments of the new management and the people involved in the sale of the SSNIT hotels.

In a post on X, sighted by GhanaWeb, the North Tongu MP said, "An awesome victory for all Ghanaians, and particularly for the might of Organised Labour. Clearly, nothing is impossible when we put Ghana first and work together. Having terminated the sale of our hotels after much belligerence and intransigence; they should all have their SSNIT appointments terminated.

"Never ever take the Ghanaian people for granted. The battle against State Capture continues, and we shall be victorious again! I am eternally grateful to all Ghanaians for the tremendous and overwhelming solidarity. For God and Country."

Ablakwa has been vocal in his opposition to the sale, citing a lack of due process and violation of procurement procedures.

He also petitioned the Commission on Human Rights and Administrative Justice (CHRAJ), seeking an investigation into the sale of the hotels owned by SSNIT.
