- Owner of Rock City Group Hotel and Minister of Food & Agriculture, Bryan Acheampong faces off with MP for North Tongu, Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa on SSNIT’s sale of stake in Hotels to Rock City Hotel
People need education on the differences between public and private companies.How can a 100% shareholder who enjoys 100% profits compares himself to shareholders of public companies. Our leaders are very interesting
The question should be so how much shares does the other director of Rockcity own?
I just love conversations like this,this is a good platform to respond to Allegations and viewers and listener's can judge for themselves.
Conflict of interest, privileged information
We are watching the sharing of state properties live.
When SSNIT made their intentions known in the News Papers in 2018, did Okujato hear or see it?
So Bryan's wrong is His Company bidding and winning?
Okujato should tell all Ghanaians the number of Companies He owes, the processes of Registrations and Everything else.
So the state own enterprises bought by ndc people didn't he see?
The more reason you voted them out. Shame on u for supporting what is wrong
@@anonymousforopy4673so npp should continue right? Youth of today
@@bragoboakye5436eermm what is wrong here?
SSNIT should float shares on the Ghana stock exchange for all of us to buy shares and not sell the shares to only 1 person. If I had money, I would sue SSNIT Because my money too is part of SSNIT money. Politicians of this country are so wicked.
Ya,and the money of sanity is not for the government it is for the pensionniers
When the NDC administrations sold the Kwame Nkrumah built to their supporters, what who did you say about this at that time? Nsawam Ghanacan was given to a consortium headed by Nana Konadu Agyeman Rawlings , so my friend, don't be a hypocrite? The NDC party is a lot, and share party and not saints when it comes to Ghana interest.
@@danielackom3286if this government is serious they should go after them
@aaronkpakpo6008Super great point.👍🏾
@aaronkpakpo6008 This is the reason NPP should not be in office. They seem to think they have the right to do wrong because someone did wrong.
What kind of wicked thinking is that.
Wicked CopyCats.
Those State assets stolen by Nana Konadu should be claimed not used an as excuse by ours to steal more.
This is state capture, pure and simple
Nooo this is not. The man is a business man
You're right 💯
Yet the Ahwoi's brothers from NDC having shares in the same hotel isn't state capture
The whole argument ends at "I own the company"
Something like that but he kept saying he gets no benefits
Kojo your moderation is very sub par
I like NPP supporters. They fight for their politicians whilst they wallow in poverty!😂😂😂😂. Remove your partisan lens, you will understand the issues better!
😂😂😂😂😂
He is a director and 100% shareholder for free.😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
God forbid let fire gut rockcity who would be admitted to hospital assuming insurance has expired hmmmm
..and does not take profit but dividends ..hw stupid😅😅
These our leaders are not serious
As a chartered accountant, we know it is not only about a beneficial owner, it is a BENEFICIAL INTEREST, that raises a question. If you own any shares in any company , it makes you a beneficial interest in the company and that issues of conflict of interest come in.
Where is Kwame sefa kyei the international journalists of the world
This is very bold ignorant. So he doesn't take board fees?...So what has GRA been doing. So he doesnt file taxes too. A director is a director. this is an insult to the Registrar of Companies as well
How can u be the OWNER & non-functional MD of a company & claim u don't have monetary interest? 😂😂😂😂😂
That's exactly my point. No monetary gains, so what are you owning the company for?
Is it a charity enterprise?😂😂😂
They think we are fools😂😂😂😂😂
Is it possible, my guys. I used to work at RGD, and this is normal kraaa.
Where was it mentioned non-functional MD in the whole interview? The funny part of the whole issue is that most of u pple own zero businesses n hv absolutely no idea abt corporate n organizational structures yet go abt saying all sorts of nonsense. At the point of registration of a company, u need at least 2 directors and after dat, u r not under any obligation to be d one running the company. Dats why d company can hv a management board led by a CEO or MD to run it n d founders and/or shareholders who in dis case only act as visionaries. Bn shareholders makes dem ultimate beneficiaries no doubt but all wat Bryan is saying that, he's no an employee of the company so he's not breached any law since the running of the company doesn't affect his work as a minister of state or a public officer. Are you pple saying dat if u become a public officer, u can't own shares even if u r not working in dat organization?
@@revealedtvgh did u even read what u wrote? u're a disgrace to the intellectual community 😂
Well done Joy! This is good work done guys.
Mr Bryn having a separate management managing affairs on your behalf, is an organization internal arrangements, it has no effect on your position as a director of the company. So whether you are paid or not isn't an issue.
Tell me more sir. What is Mr. Bryn talking about?
Ablakwa has provided evidence and went ahead to provide meeting report to surport his argument
And you didn't hear a response from Mr Acheampong
Ahhhhh, Ghana paaaa. So Bryan says when profits are declared, it is paid to who?
He is paid dividends as a shareholder.
I don't know ooo my brother. So he might as well give it as a gift to someone and forget about it.
@richardopokuagyakwa8773 u mean dividends are not profits
hahahahaha. Asem oooo
Now, one of these days when anyone put a false accusations of another person and the issue go to court and the complainant lose the case the defender must sue them a counter claim to teach them a lesson and clear their name
Joy paaaa. you have two people addressing an issue of national concern and you want to continue tomorrow..
General Ablakwah you jealous Bryan 😊. God will give him SSNIT business and he'll manage it to your shame. Bryan is educating you this time bro!!!
Stealing in broad daylight and using jargons to defend yourself is the order of the day. How can this be normal if not greed....!!
Any respectable businessman will withdraw from such a transaction after a public outcry...!!
Bryan defence same as Ken Ofori Atta. Does these guys understand conflict of interest. This issue sparks of deep seated corruption and abuse of power
Conflict of interest is an ethical or moral matter
@@frankdavies8217what the fuck does that mean?
How’s this a conflict of interest issue. Did you listened to the conversation very well or you’re just typing cuz you have a phone
@@chiefdaddy176 use your common sense and stop been part of the 99% fools
@@wilsonsebie8299you are rather being fooled. Listen to the conversation well and stop being stupid.
Reason they brought Osafo Marfo's son to do the hatchet job.
We are slowly connecting the dots
Yep, this is why Akuffo Addo sacked the previous boss and quickly replaced him with one of their own.
Akuffo Addo is the worst president Ghana has seen thus far.
This process started in 2018. Where was Osarfo Marfo's son?
He was deputy then
Bryan did great with his answers, this is character assassination by Ablakwa.... now u face the man see how Ablakwa is missing issues
Missing what you people are the reason we re here as a nation.
A Ga stooge, are you forbidden to use your brains for what it's given you?
Do you understand character assassination?
Sorry they're the reason we are here as a nation not missing thanks
How did we get to the point that these properties must be sold
IF WE ALL AS GHANAIANS WOULD CHANGE OUR BAD ATTITUDES TOWARDS GOV'T PROPERTIES AND OUR NEGATIVE WORKS IN THEM, NO STATE INSTITUTION WOULD BE INVITING A PRIVATE ENTITY TO COME IN.
Where were you guys, when n d c sold state assets to foreighners?.
pure state capture
This is not state capture. Purely business
Feeble mind
So the ahwoi's brothers from NDC having shares in the same hotel wasn't a state capture.
What has been captured?
@@kwabenaapeatu558you are dumb... This is clearly state capture. Don't be a dummy
Who cares whether you dont receive salary. You are the owner of the company thats what matters to Ghanaians
If what Acheampong is saying is correct then it means the constitution needs to be changed. Who cares if you are not a manager at Rock City? You can use your influence as MP to add pressure on the transaction in your favour as you own Rock City irrelevant of whether you are a manager there and you dont salary. That is our worry as Ghanaians. I think Ablakwa raises very valid questions on this matter.
Government officials should steer clear state assets to avoid heated arguments.
Simple
Fools : Okuzeto Ablakwa is not a destitute poor to envied Bryan Acheampong. He is just a gentleman who wants Ghana to move.
Where was he when NDC gave out money for free to Woyome? How about government official 1? How about double salary? He never exposes any corruption in NDC because it benefits me.
SSNIT holds 25% of a hotel that has never paid dividends for several decades and has been bought at 7m. SSNIT and pensioners are 7m rich compared to the zero they received several years back. Don't be silly ok
Apuuuu . Are you guys listening to the interview? Or you just want to make noise here. If you put an asset on the market and someone make you an offer where is the stealing ? NDC is just envy
Is he not a brother of J J RAWLINGS?Out of jealousy he made coup de ta
Mr Okudzeto, the hard work and hard worn reputation of Brian. You can't and would not merit it. You graduated from university and straight away we nt into politics, no work experience, what so ever. If I may ask where did he get his money from? Who bank rolled him to become a member of Parliament?
There is no more Ghana the country is finished
for 30 years, nothing was paid to SSNIT? eii! Main while they were 25% share holders.
The level of journalism being displayed is sub-par. There are so many important and critical questions that were glossed over.
Bryan Acheampong is trying to cool down Ablakwa but that's not working out because Ablakwa is very smart and Wise
Second lie. If hes not that involved with Rock City why is he the spokesman? Why isn't there someone else speaking for Rock City.
Wasn't his name mentioned?
The problem here is an actual minister who is basically going to own a state entity because 60% is practically going to be his own. Tomorrow he can say he doesn’t have fund to pay people’s pension. How can a whole minister buy a 60% of a state entity? This is pure strategy of NPP to steal more money. Ghanians should not allow the government to sell SSNIT otherwise they will lose their future pension savings.
THIS WHOLE ISSUE IS CRAZY.
The situation is sickening
It's not SSNIT he's buying ooo
No one is buying SSNIT please.
@@macdonaldowusu353 someone who can own 60% of a company is basically the owner because without his approval nothing can be done.
Bryan is not allow to buy SSNIT shares but Rawlings wife was allowed to buy a whole Nsawam cannery for herself under her husband 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
What I don't understand is do we expect a foreigner to buy, make it viable, and then export their proceeds?
If you want to really care to understand the situation go and read more on procurement
So he is or the only company can buy governments properties? How can a minister in power go do that? These people don’t love Ghana at all.
We want a Ghanaian to own it, but the process must be transparent for interested Ghanaians to partake in it.
What is happening here is that, a powerful gvt official is seeking to acquire a state resource for cheap without due process. This is where the problem is.
They are just trying all their best to take government properties. No wonder they are doing bad services to state properties so they can say they don’t yield anything so let’s sell them ourselves.
Is not about a foreigner buying it but this government have the money to solve SSNIT but they don’t want to. If there wasn’t any solution why would agric minister offer himself to buy 60% of it shares… it smells like another money laundry( how can a minister have more money than the whole government) nothing make sense in this country.
I think Bryns positions at Rock city is clear.
“No journalistic piece”, no positional scrutiny from journalists… “just a conveyor belt”. Journalism today. SMH
Hahahaha broo!
You solicited for Woyome and Co to claim judgement debt and you found nothing wrong with it. This is all because those you paid those money to are none Akans. This is pure tribalism, envy, greed and demonic.
Our journalistic style in Ghana is complete bogus. Shouldn’t you lot be the ones to investigate stuff like that and bring it out to public knowledge. Indeed you lot sitting there should be asking the critical questions and not the whistle blower.
I wonder
I wonder too
Poor journalism, where is this done in world? The journalists have set up a court room and the journalists are hearing the submissions as judges?
Some of talk trash... How is it possible for journalist to get full details of every issues? Why do they call people ror live interviews? Shut up, you complain too much in this country
Okujeto is only doing politics and what is annoying is that if he looses he wouldn't apologise and all those posting useless comments wouldn't apologise too.
Nonsense...why must you sell 60 percent of ssnit properties to one person in your government.
Bryan Acheampong is a funny man. He owns the company but they are independent! I laf tayar.
JoJo failed to have Bryan Acheampong answer the question "You have an arrangement to work with the hotels and payback in installments?"
Agyapade3 document at play but the media is quiet on it.
A petition has been made for determination, why are you wasting your time talking to this greedy Bryan Acheampong.
They were allowed by who? Is it by agreement?
It is for reasons like this and among others that the company law [Register General] doesn't distinguish between directorship, be it executive or not. "A director is a director" and is or they are responsible for all infractions
Why must ssnit sell those shares?
How did the Ahwois get into ssnit business?
They are all hypocrites especially NDC
They started with ssnit them when they were building the hotels not after the hotels have been built so those who don't know should try find out
Your Bryan is trying to buy with under profits hotel's which should buy what nonsense
@@staliionasamoah8740 your vindictive and envious evil that has been planted in you guys by a vindictive JJ Rawlings is the reason why this country lacks any big and prosperous indigenous business. We can tolerate foreigners who do business in Ghana and take all the profits away than for an indigenous business man to thrive. Such medieval thinking can only happen in Ghana.
Who else have noticed that NDC gurus got br)fo waaaaa😂😂h333 article upon article quotes plus vocabs
Please is a joy news now court room or what, I don't understand why Bryan Achampong is disturbing his self
Bryan Acheampong is a dishonest person. He keeps going on about “I’m told, I’m told” about his OWN company, as though he was in one corner and someone mentioned the information in passing. Loot and share. 😂
Is this the same person who said NewPickPockets will never hand over to NDC?
ILO put out recently, that SSNIT reserves were going to be depleted in 2036; then SSNIT sells 60% shares of assets it has, in the name of poor contributors to a Minister’s company… Does this add up?
Away from this discussion, EC says registration kits have been stolen, and have auctioned only 10 or so of its verification devices to recycling company, and destroyed the rest- thousands… Does this tick the boxes for you?
Sammy is very funny
The only difference between the gentlemen in the studio and we the listeners is that, the studio guys are moderators n we the listeners only listen.
Our dear journalist, I ok for all of us having voters ID, i wish u distance urself from politicians n work on top of issues.
See how u guys are lost in this matter.
Oh GOD have mercy on us, hmmm
Wow... This man said he has over 1000 staff and he has 500 plus on SSNIT eiiiiiiiiii between the start to the 8 min of this video... Pay attention
The arrogance in Bryan’s so called education is not only nebulous and vague but disrespectful and insulting. You are a none executive director so you don’t receive any compensation yet you own 100% of the shares. At the end of the day, who benefits?
Bully language.
So this is why OSAFO Marfo’s son took over SSNIT.
You multimedia is Ghana 🇬🇭 only for NDC? Why can’t you question Bryan to get to the bottom of this nonsense? 😢
If a Ghanaian own the hotel what is the problem in it. A NDC member own 4.9 who is Ghanaian. What is wrong a colleague Ghanaian own 60% ... Do you want a foreigner to own the Ghana 🇬🇭 property... oooh the skin pain in Ghana 🇬🇭 is too much. Meanwhile the hotel is doing bad in Business
Yoo bro, take your time to understand the issues here. It’s not about who owns what. It is about how it is owned. Please read a little more on procurement and government officials.
@@ghfirstmediathere is nothing wrong in this. Sammy will be floored completely in court and will come out and cry foul. I feel Sammy’s is fighting for the Ahowi brothers
You are not helping Sammy you should help yourself please
Komot for there
Ghana is done.
LABADI BEACH HOTEL NOT FOR SALE!!!!!!!! NOOOÒOOOOOO
It high time somebody sued Snnit! And I think it will happen
Which court, Ghana here ? Forget it SNNIT will win
are u not somebody, you too can do the sue
so so arrogance nkoaaa
The brazing audacity this guy Bryan Acheampong has is truly hard to listen to.
Rock City tells me = I Bryan Acheampong is saying.....
A very poor program. No need for 'frontal attacks' by okudzeto and Achampong.
I think this time around MR Ablakwa got it wrong.
Do you guys think through your anus at all?
Mr. OA is having the matter judged in the court of public opinion before it is determined by CHRAJ. He has appeared on several TV programs (and maybe even radio) trumpeting the alleged evil that Mr. BA and SSNIT has committed. Nevertheless he keeps saying that the matter is for CHRAJ to determine. This style is all propaganda. Mr. OA should leave the studio’s and leave CHRAJ to determine the matter. Period.

Looting state properties n u don't have shame. Your time will come
Looting state assets paaa nie?
Hon Okudjeto is fond of destroying people reputation before going to appropriate quarters. He has always lost the case when he was put before the law. Hon Quashiga case is an example and that of KPMG and SML deals.
Bryan Acheampong is not fit to be a minister!
Why. What is wrong with him
Oh ! Mother Ghana is suffering ! Joy News , is this interview meant to show Ghanaians the best way to play the game of ' let's pretend ' or the use of " defence mechanism " ?
NPP CRIMINALS 😢😢😢😢
NDC is worst
Politicians, greedy and selfish
They don't think about any of the citizens except their children and themselves
Pathetic

It's a shame 😢😢
"Governments, if they endure, always tend towards aristocratic forms. No government in history has been known to evade this pattern.
And as the aristocracy develops, government tends more and more to act exclusively in the interest of the ruling class- -whether that class be hereditary royalty, oligarchs of financial empires, or entrenched bureaucracy".
Frank Herbert
Ɔbuoba forget the babies!!!
In regard to the Kumasi matter you can see from Mr Ablakwa's arguments that he lacks experience in the real world. If you're selling your house, you get it evaluated and you get a price, but does not mean you will get that price when it comes to the actual sale.
As a Valuer myself, I understand that the valued property may not equate market value. However, here is the case where a sector minister has bought not just one, but several properties from a govt agency. The least he could have done was to pay the valued price. This is pure corruption and the reason Ghana is where it is today. Shameful
This Bryan guy is soo arrogant, talking about to educate somebody such as Ablakwah. You were a military man working as a chef.
when 5% is sold to Ahwoi's (NDC) its okay but when it s sold to Rock City you have issues
Does two wrongs makes a right?? What you NPP supporters fail to understand that is, this is encouraging create loot and share and we must not encourage it, whether NPP or NDC
The Ahwoi's are not in government and even that is wrong.
Why are these same politicians always rushing to buy state assets they claim are not profitable?
What credibility is he talking about? He's got none
Journalist and media are not asking the right questions .They can’t even be honest with themselves.We have all failed media government officials and society we have failed a lot of generations 😢
The fact that Bryan Acheampong is taking this so personally is a bit alarming….this is about the country and its people, not him and his reputation or lack thereof…just answer the questions and be clear about the plan and intent. That’s how you earn the trust of the PEOPLE…this is not about your friends. When it comes to the people you serve it is above your relationships. That’s how you maintain impartiality and trust…you shouldn’t be a shareholder in state affairs anyways! Terrible
Let your reputation be dented or spoilt with lies or untrue information, then tell me he is taking it personally. U think it's easy to build a reputation?
So the NDC guys have shares 😅
Yes and it’s 0.03 %. Not 60 %

@@yawsafo5594 0.03% and so what? It's still shares, get over yourself.
Without a shred doubt, Hon. Bryan Acheampong holds a political position, but to be fair enough his business ventures should be recognized and celebrated. It's so clear that Okudzeto objections stem from enviness and nothing more. Very baseless accusations. He should raise the bar.
Do you understand what conflict of interest means?? That's why you declare your assets when you are been given a position... The problems isn't him buying it, but if it happens, they will use to state to sell properties cheaply far below the prices they are supposed to be sold for...
Stop fooling , Okudzeto did this same thing some 16 years ago
We now know what's behind all this. NDC power brokers are also business moguls using Okudezto in the wars in the corporate world. In the NDC divestiture were due processes followed and who were main beneficiaries?
Lazy journalism here
First big lie: Bryan runs everything at Rock City. The idea that he's a non-executive director is total nonsense. He is the booklong armed robber a certain judge talked about the other day.
You simply don't understand corporate governance. Keep mute
@@gyabsgh7699 is this supposed to be a response to my comment? My point is that I know for a fact that Bryan is heavily involved in the day to day administration of Rock City. He's saying in an interview that he's only a non-executive director. That's a lie. Please come again with a point that makes sense.
So we should believe instead of what the corporate documents and evidence on record says ! Anyways
Go to court
The fame currency he use to pay his workers he must talk about that too
U went to school with him and so what criminals
He envies him cos Brain is from tich home therefore the envy. I evaluate my proper n want to seell it do you think the buyer have to buy it at my price. Please let stop this. Current SSNIT is in another deal like thank the company has been idle for 2 years that one Okudzetu will not go and say anything about it Enviness Nkoaa He became what he is after entering po.itics
I hope Sammy goes back to get a meaning of NEGOTIATION
That Bryan guy's is power drunk and criminal.
This Bryan chap is so arrogant to start with. How can you be the OWNER and not have any monetary interest? That is total BS. This can only happen in Ghana. But these journalists are lazy. They should go investigate independently and stop this nonsense of asking Bryan and Okudzeto to spar at each other. Ghana needs prayers.
Ablakwa is just evil
Foolishness he just fighting for his ndc people who already have a share in this enterprise
You can never see beyond politics because Y0UR ANC3ST0RS W3R3 SL@V3 D3AL3RS.
If the sales was to a foreigner, you will never hear anything about it. Ghana properties should be sold to Ghanaians. Jealousy is killing Poor people in Ghana 🇬🇭. J J Rawlings took properties from Ghanaians and sold it to foreigners. The more billionaires in Ghana the country succeed. Okudzeto only draws salary from the government . Brian Acheampong is investing his money and creating jobs.
You lack indepth understanding. Okudzeto is not fighting just another Ghanaian who has just bought a state property. He's fighting a whole cabinet minister with an insider information on these properties even before it came on the market. If you ever have an iota idea of ethics will tell you that what Bryan Acheampong is doing reeks of corruption. The whole process was done to alienate any other Ghanaian who may have been interested. You can't be in govt and still buy govt properties. Your ignorant self can't even see pass this simple issue of conflict of interest.
