Courage Kafui Nunekpeku, MD of Tema Development Company Limited
The Managing Director of TDC, Courage Makafui Nunekpeku, has revealed that an internal review of the company’s operations has uncovered the sale of large tracts of land to individuals with connections to the former Minister of Finance, Ken Ofori-Atta, during the tenure of his predecessor, Alice Abena Ofori-Atta.
This disclosure raises concerns over the transparency and fairness of land distribution during the period he was finance minister.
Addressing a press conference on Thursday, April 10, 2025, Nunekpeku explained that the sale of these lands occurred under questionable circumstances, sparking the need for further investigation to ensure accountability and avoid any misuse of power.
He stressed that the discovery of these transactions was part of an effort to expose irregularities within the system.
“Every 10 plots here belong to Ofori-Atta. Yes, every 10 plots. And why? Is that the only family we have in Ghana? These are facts. Nobody can change it. They can come and challenge me, and I’ll meet them anywhere in court, with records, with documents. They can come and challenge me,” he asserted, indicating that he had solid evidence to back up his claims.
Nunekpeku further emphasised the extent of the land deals, stating that companies linked to the former finance minister had been allocated vast amounts of land, ranging from 4 to 30 acres.
