Okudzeto Ablakwa writes to SSNIT; demands full evaluation report among others

Member of Parliament for North Tongu, Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa has written to the Social Security and National Insurance Trust (SSNIT) demanding information on the procurement process that led to Rock City Hotel’s bid for four hotels belonging to SSNIT.

The Legislator is seeking information on evidence of Rock City’s GRA Tax Clearance Certificate as Rock City could not have produced a valid one during the tender because they had not filed their tax returns for 2021 and 2022.

Also, he is seeking minutes of all tender committee meetings and a copy of the full evaluation report.

He is optimistic that SSNIT will provide him with all the information needed in the spirit of transparency and accountability; and as required in the pursuit of his constitutional mandate of parliamentary oversight.
