Speaker of Parliament Alban Bagbin has said that his residence was almost sold to a private person.
He said it was when the buyer attempted to register the land at the Lands Commission that he realized it was the Speaker’s residence.
He said these while speaking at the ‘Speaker’s Breakfast Forum’ in Accra on Monday, November 20.
“Many of you don’t know that even the residence of the Speaker was almost sold to the private sector. Actually, it was given out.
“It was when they went to register that the Lands Commission identified that that was the residence of the Speaker. Luckily, I was inside, so it was saved,” he stated.
Commenting on this matter, South Dayi Member of Parliament Rockson-Nelson Dafeamekpor expressed shock at this development.
In a tweet, he said “At today’s Speaker’s Breakfast Forum, Speaker Bagbin revealed that, the Speaker’s Residence at Cantonments in Accra, was sold to a private Developer whilst he was in that residence.
“The Lands Commission discovered this only when the Developer went to register it. Unbelievable!!”
