Labadi Beachfront: Kwame Blay threatens legal action against Ablakwa over land acquisition allegations

Kwame Blay, son of former National Chairman of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) Freddie Blay, has threatened to sue Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa, the Member of Parliament for North Tongu.

This comes after Ablakwa accused the Blay family of attempting to illegally acquire land from the state-owned Labadi Beach Hotel in Accra.

The accusations have sparked a heated exchange, with Kwame Blay demanding an apology from Okudzeto Ablakwa, journalist Johnnie Hughes, and Media General’s management, suggesting potential legal consequences. Despite the pressure, Ablakwa remains firm, inviting Blay to take the issue to court and hinting at further revelations regarding the alleged state capture.

In an interview on Accra-based Citi FM, Kwame Blay expressed his disbelief at Ablakwa’s claims and highlighted the damaging impact these allegations have on his family’s reputation.

“It is so preposterous that a learned gentleman like Ablakwa would come and spew such utter rubbish. It is unfair to drag our good name through the mud,” Blay stated.

“By the middle of next week, he will hear from our lawyers very strongly and in different [batches]. He has mentioned three individuals, so he should be very careful.”
