Flagbearer of the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC), John Dramani Mahama, has promised his administration will probe and reclaim all state lands that have been taken by officials of the Akufo-Addo government.
He accused the Akufo-Addo-Bawumia government of supervising the “unprecedented disposing” of state lands and properties.
Additionally, the leader of the NDC maintained that such actions cannot continue unchecked, stressing his determination to ensure these lands are reclaimed for the state.
In a post on X on Thursday, June 20, the former President bemoaned the rate at which state assets were being disposed to party cronies, vowing full-scale investigations in a bid to reclaim these assets for the state.
Additionally, he encouraged voters to vote for the NDC in the upcoming election, asserting that the rapid sale of state properties undermines public trust and deprives future generations of valuable national assets.
“The Akufo-Addo and Bawumia government is disposing off state lands and properties at an unprecedented rate. When elected, my administration will prioritise the investigation and re-possession of these lands,” Mr Mahama wrote.
