Sylvester Tetteh, Deputy Minister for Information and Member of Parliament for Bortianor Ngleshie Amanfro, has denied demolishing a Ghana Broadcasting Corporation (GBC) home.
Tetteh has also declared preparations to look into the transfer of GBC lands to private people in the Akwasa region, where the current destruction occurred.
After being accused of destroying a GBC structure, Tetteh disputed the claims, blaming the unfavorable press on administrative failings at the broadcaster.
He stated that the GA South Municipal Assembly and GBC reached an agreement to utilize the disputed area for a public school, which resulted in the destruction of the facility, which he alleges was carried out by the assembly.
MP also asked GBC’s Director of Legal Affairs to show evidence that he demolished a different plot of land than the one assigned to him for development.
“As a sector deputy minister, and my boss will approve that, I will institute investigations into how GBC lands have ended up building private homes here where we are standing. So he should get ready. If he’s a director of legal and he had the impudence to report his sector deputy minister to the police and had the gut to put my picture on their social media handle.
He added, “I want to deal with the matter of lies that have been spilt about me that I have forcefully demolished the bungalow. What he claimed to be GBC property, a bungalow. There’s no bungalow here. There’s an old dilapidated structure here and let me tell you, there’s one man who’s has been an occupant of that place.
“They’ve been collecting money from him for years. No GBC staff had ever occupied that place for a very long time. It’s a boy’s quarters dilapidated building. Nobody works in GBC had occupied that property and when the estate manager was here and the coordinates were picked, the coordinates that were picked, that included that whole area. So if you want to build there and an old dilapidated structure is there, what do you do?
“Don’t you clear it before you do the construction? So this is the site plan I’ll share with you. This is a letter sent by Kwame Waja on the instructions of the director general. Where have I gone wrong? Where has the assembly gone wrong? The municipal assembly has not done anything untoward. So this issue of a lawless MP. If I want, if I’m lawless for the sake of my community, I’ll continue to be lawless.”
