Protestors have started gathering at the Labadi Beach Hotel to commence the “Hands Off Our Hotels Demonstration.”
The purpose of the demonstration is to put pressure on the government to halt the sale of 60% of four hotels owned by the Social Security and National Insurance Trust (SSNIT) to Minister of Food and Agriculture, Bryan Acheampong, the owner of Rock City Group.
The hotels are; Labadi Beach Hotel, La Palm Royal Beach Resort, Elmina Beach Resort, Ridge Royal Hotel, Busua Beach Resort.
Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa, the Member of Parliament for North Tongu and the convener of the protest, explained that selling state properties to government officials constitutes an abuse of power and should be stopped.
The protest will begin at the Labadi Beach Hotel and conclude at the Christ the King School, located just a few meters from the Jubilee House.
