North Tongu MP Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa has lambasted the ruling New Patriotic Party, NPP for practising “create loot and keep’ system of governance.
Mr Okudzeto Ablakwa was speaking on the sidelines of the Opposition NDC’s recently ended National Delegates Congress, where he castigated the NPP of gross negligence under President Akufo-Addo.
He was speaking to JoyNews Monitored by MyNewsGh.com.
“Under this government, we are seeing massive create loot and keep not even create loot and share. This government, they create loot keep” he said.
When asked if the NDC was involved in Create Loot and Share whilst NPP is now engaged in Create Loot and Keep, Mr Ablakwa stated that the former is an allegation levelled by the NPP against the NDC while the latter is evidence-based.
“No… They accused us [of Create Loot and Share] … No, We didn’t engage in this level of recklessness” he replied.
Origin of Create Loot and Share
Justice Jones Dotse, one of the nine-member Supreme Court panel at the time hearing the Woyome Waterville scandal in 2013 was not enthused about the cases of judgement debts that were brought before the court using the expression “Create Loot and Share”.
The €40 million judgment debt compensated to Waterville Holdings Ltd and the GHS51.2 million paid to businessman Alfred Agbesi Woyome were described by Justice Dotse as a carefully planned plan by some individuals, companies, and lawyers who he labeled as a “brigade” formed to loot the country.
On June 14, 2013, the Supreme Court ruled that Waterville should pay back €40 million in judgment debts for three stadium construction projects in 2006.
Mr Woyome and Waterville seemed to have “entered into an alliance to create, loot, and share the resources of this country as if a brigade had been set up for such an enterprise,” according to Justice Dotse.
Today, Mr. Ablakwa believes that the NPP current regime is all about Create Loot and Keep, with no sharing.
