Former Managing Director of the InterCity State Transport Corporation (STC), Nana Akomea, has rejected allegations that he sold portions of STC land to loyalists of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) during his tenure as reported by Ghana Web.
The claims, reportedly made by a deputy Managing Director under the current government, suggested that Mr. Akomea sold off STC properties “like groundnuts” to party affiliates.
These accusations have since sparked public debate and concern over the management of state assets.
Responding to the allegations on Peace FM’s Kokrokoo program, Nana Akomea strongly denied any involvement in land sales during his leadership.
“There’s no iota of truth in it,” he stated, insisting that neither he nor the NPP had a hand in disposing of any STC property.
Rather than taking responsibility, the former minister suggested the land transactions in question took place prior to his appointment.
He claimed that by the time he assumed office, several prime properties had already been sold under the previous administration.
“I went to the STC to find that they had sold the 4 acres of land at the head office,” he disclosed, hinting that the deals had been concluded during the Mahama administration.
Akomea also stated that in Takoradi, lands once owned by STC had been sold and repurposed for commercial use, including the establishment of a MELCOM outlet.
The issue has reignited scrutiny into how state lands are managed and who is held accountable for questionable transactions.
However, Nana Akomea maintains that his hands are clean, and he had no role in any such sales.
