A leading member of the opposition New Patriotic Party (NPP) has urged the party Chairman, Jake Obetsebi Lamptey to relinquish the controversial state bungalow for peace to prevail. Kwabena Agyapong says politicians must set certain standards in the country to correct the erroneous impression that they only seek power to loot’ state properties. Mr. Agyapong's comment comes on the back of a Cabinet decision not to sell a state bungalow at No. 2 Mungo Street at Ridge in Accra purported to have been leased to the Mr. Obetsebi-Lamptey for fifty years. The decision was after a Supreme Court ruling which cleared the NPP Chairman on charges of corruption and conflict of interest during the acquisition of the property. Many lawyers including the former Attorney General, Martin Amidu have argued that government’s decision amounted to flouting the Supreme Court decision and that it is unconstitutional. But Kwabena Agyapong on Asempa FM’s Ekosii Sen programme Monday, said the NPP Chairman should discontinue the acquisition of the property following the brouhaha in the interest of the state. He noted that the recent blame game between the ruling National Democratic Congress (NDC) and NPP over which party looted state lands is eroding the confidence Ghanaians have in the political authority. Kwabena Agyapong wondered why the ruling party did not revoke the Accra Redevelopment Policy which he said is their brainchild when it came to power if indeed it had the supreme interest of Ghana at heart. He alleged that government under the Accra Redevelopment Policy has unethically annexed state lands to its cronies and yet President John Mills and his Cabinet are now preaching morality. The former press secretary of ex-President J.A. Kufuor indicated that the conduct of the Mills-led administration on the Jake bungalow saga smacks of hypocrisy and double standards. Kwabena Agyapong said the issue of state lands acquisition by government appointees should be looked at dispassionately for a lasting solution to the problem.
