Speaker of Parliament, Alban Bagbin

The Lands Commission has denied a claim by the Speaker of Parliament that his official residence was nearly sold to a private developer recently.

The claim by Speaker Alban Sumana Bagbin, who said he has only recently been made aware of the development, has received widespread public condemnation, amidst concerns of institutional corruption among state institutions.

He made the allegation at the Speaker’s Breakfast Forum held at the Alisa Hotel, Accra on Monday, however the Lands Commission, in a statement it issued on Monday, November 20, and signed by its Ag. Executive Secretary, Benjamin Arthur said the claim is not founded.
