The Deputy Minister for Sanitation and Water Resources, Amidu Issahaku Chinnia, was forced to eat his phrases throughout the Good Morning Ghana programme on Tuesday, July 16, 2024.
The deputy minister, who can also be the Member of Parliament (MP) for Sissala East, claimed that former President John Dramani Mahama and his appointees acquired state properties, together with lands, whereas he was in workplace.
“The state assets John Dramani Mahama sold are more than this government. Even the bungalow he lived in as Vice President, when he was leaving, he wrote for that bungalow to be given to him. He bought state lands,” he claimed.
The host of the programme, Dr. Randy Abbey, requested Chinnia after his declare, “Who bought state lands?”
The deputy minister retorted, “Officials of the NDC. They bought a lot of it, including former President Mahama.”
The broadcaster then requested Chinnia to present proof of his declare, and he mentioned, “did President Mahama not write a letter for the state to hand over his official residence to him?”
Dr. Abbey then accused the deputy minister of intentionally deceptive the general public along with his declare that Mahama wrote to the federal government for his official residence to be handed over to him.
He indicated that Mahama instructed the federal government to give him the residence as his official lodging, which he’s entitled to, including that the previous president by no means tried to purchase the mentioned residence.
“Please hold on. Please hold on. Please hold on. On the issue of that official residence, we all know the facts. Why are we twisting it? Please, let us respect our audience. You can’t sit on this programme and make a statement to the effect that the former President bought state lands and not prove it. Which land, which state land did he buy? Just tell us,” he requested the deputy minister.
Chinnia couldn’t present proof of any state land or asset Mahama bought however insisted, “I would get it (the evidence) to you. He bought state lands. He offered to buy his official residence.”
The broadcaster then rebuked the minister, saying, “He (Mahama) never, ever bought state lands. He never wrote to buy his state bungalow. It didn’t happen.”
After the back-and-forth, the deputy mentioned he didn’t say Mahama bought state lands however “wanted to buy it.”
