The Tema Development Company Limited (TDC) has disclosed that its preliminary investigations have uncovered the sale of several parcels of land in Tema Community 24 to individuals associated with the Ofori-Atta family.
This revelation comes on the back of an internal review across TDC’s departments, which exposed significant irregularities and triggered calls for an external investigation.
Speaking at a press conference at the TDC office in Tema on Thursday, April 10, Managing Director Courage Makafui Nunekpeku stated that available records point to land sales made during the tenure of his predecessor, Alice Abena Ofori-Atta, to persons connected to the Ofori-Atta family.
Nunekpeku emphasized that the call for investigations is grounded in solid evidence and not mere speculation.
“Nothing will stop the investigations we’re going to do. The only thing that can stop it will be probably the sector minister or the President. Apart from that, nothing is going to stop it. We will continue to do the land audit to make sure that people account for their stewardship.”
He further questioned the concentration of land ownership within a single family.
“You cannot be the Managing Director that presides over the sale of land, properties to this level and think that you should not be called to account. Every ten plots in layer T of the categorised land, two or three plots belongs to an Ofori-Atta. I mean, why, is that the only family we have in Ghana? These are facts, nobody can change it.”
