The immediate past MD of STC, Nana Akomea has described as wicked lies any allegation of sale of STC land during his tenure as head of the state transport corporation.
Speaking on Peace FM kokrokoo show Tuesday 27 May, he was emphatic that he would have resisted any pressure to engage in such conduct.
Nana Akomea slammed the new deputy MD of STC of peddling unimaginable and reckless falsehood about him and the NPP.
Nana Akomea rather asserted that STC lands were sold before his tenure, during the previous NDC government .
He cited STC lands including four acres at the STC head office sold to a company called BCM, four acres at Takoradi sold to Melcom, and even the official bungalow for the STC MD at Roman Ridge in Accra sold to Caitec, all before his tenure.
He said his administration engaged partners and investors to develop idle STC lands under rental agreements, which have secured financial gains for the company.
“Isn’t this better than the outright sales of STC lands as occurred in previous administrations under the watch of the NDC?” he asked.
He has therefore advised the newly appointed deputy MD of STC to stop whining about STC’s bus fleet and work to secure the 20 new buses for which a large part payment had already been made.
The new deputy MD, in an interview on Accra FM with Bobie Ansah had sought to portray the company as “dead” and “gone” with no functioning buses and terminals.
Nana Akomea wondered how a “dead”, and “gone” company, with no functioning buses and terminals, could regularly pay salaries for over 700 staff, including the new deputy MD and the new staff they have added to the company’s payroll.
