Ohene Ntow billed for occupying gov’t bungalow
Audrey Micah, Ghanadot

Accra, Sept 25, Ghanadot - The General Secretary of the opposition New Patriotic Party (NPP), Nana Ohene Ntow has been billed an accumulated amount of GH¢ 96,000 by the government for illegally occupying a government bungalow from 2001 to 2009.

Nana Ohene-Ntow is accused of illegally staying in the bungalow long after he ceased to be a public officer.

There are also allegations that the former government’s spokesperson on Finance’s wife turned parts of the bungalow into a commercial “shitor” and fried rice factory.

In an interview on Citi FM, the Deputy Minister of Water Resources, Works and Housing, Dr. Hannah Bisiw said, the Ministry of works had to surcharge Nana Ohene Ntow after he failed to respond to a letter which requested him to provide documentation that gave him the legal right to stay in the bungalow.

The Deputy Minister added that “the time elapsed so we’ve accompanied that letter with another letter asking him to pay for the rent from 2001 when he occupied the place to 2009 when he left the bungalow."

According to the Deputy works and Housing Minister, the NPP Secretary General would be charged a commercial rate of one thousand Ghana Cedis per month for turning the bungalow into “a small scale shitor and fried rice factory".

“We are going to surcharge him a commercial rate because he turned the place into a commercial centre…we are looking at a GH¢ 1000 per month for the eight years because, unless he gives us letters to prove otherwise we consider that he lived there illegally so we consider it as squatting and he is going to be surcharged for the number of years that he lived there.” She said

Meanwhile, Nana Ohene Ntow has confirmed that he has received the said letter from the Ministry.

According to him, he was allocated the bungalow by the government when he was appointed Government’s Spokesperson on Finance.

“My appointment was as Government’s Spokesman and that appointment was made by the President of the Republic. As part of the condition I was to receive a fully furnished official accommodation".
