Member of Parliament of Bimilla, Dominic Ntiwul
The Member of Parliament of Bimbilla, Dominic Nitiwul, encountered an unexpected interruption while addressing Parliament on Wednesday, February 5, 2025.
This was while he was in the middle of challenging some comments made by the Chairman of the ORAL team, who also serves as the Member of Parliament of North Tongu, Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa, regarding a disclosure he made during his vetting, to the effect that he resides in a rented apartment at Airport Hills in Accra.
Dominic Nitiwul questioned how Okudzeto Ablakwa could afford such a residence.
“The people of Ghana are still demanding answers. It will help him, this process, and every politician, if he can tell the people of Ghana where he’s getting the money to rent that property at Airport Hills,” he stated.
He then shifted focus to the ORAL team, urging them to investigate state lands that had been allegedly looted.
“Mr. Speaker, I commend them for deciding to carry out ORAL work. I commend you. But I want to ensure a committee is properly set up in accordance with the law to do this job. I want them to start with Borteyman. Check the lands allocated between 2014, 2015, and 2016. Who among the members benefited from Borteyman?
“Mr. Chairman of ORAL, I want you to look into the Aviation lands, that large area at Madina. Go into the Aviation land and find out who owns it. Also, investigate the land opposite the military cemetery,” he added.
However, just as Nitiwul continued listing additional state lands that needed scrutiny, his microphone abruptly went off.
“Mr. Speaker, someone is turning off the mic, please, let’s respect ourselves!”, he exclaimed.
This prompted the Second Deputy Speaker, Andrew Amoako Asiamah, to step in.
“Honorable members, When I say this, you get flared up at times. We are doing government business, we have to finish and leave and your own members are putting on their mics,” he stated.
During the recent vetting of the Minister of Foreign Affairs-designate, Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa, he disclosed that he has been living in a rented apartment at Airport Hills for the past eight years.
