Former deputy Education Minister in charge of Tertiary education, under the erstwhile Mahama administration, Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa has conceded he erred in suggesting that the supposed new location for the campus for the University of Environmental and Sustainable Development – Bunso- is at Kyebi.
The North Tongu legislator alleging the relocation move said: “The program which Parliament had already approved was that there will be two main campuses, the Somanya campus and the Donkorkrom campus in the Affram Plains area.
“The information I have, which is unimpeachable, credible, is that this government has changed the second campus from Donkorkrom in Afram Plains to Bunso in Kyebi, and that is why they did not want to answer the question. The facility that this house approved in 2016 has to do with funding for two campuses, there is reasonable proximity.”
But after the Ministry of education debunked his claims as “preposterous” Mr. Ablakwa told Francis Abban on Morning Starr that his ‘Bunso in Kyebi’ claim was an error.
“It was a mistake on my part and you noticed that in my subsequent statement which I issued yesterday [Wednesday] I corrected it. I said Bunso in the Abuakwa South Constituency. So that’s my error.
“The statement I wanted to make was that Bunso is in the Akyem area not Bunso in Kyebi. It was a clear mistake on my part and I apologize for that…”

i want to start a social media campaign against Ablakwa for his consistent lying. #ABLAKWA MUST RESIGN
The minority Leader will have to take an urgent decision to reshuffle some of the spoke persons on the minority side.Their alternate contributions and conduct are pathetic.They are making NDC a political laughing stock. Ghanaians registered their disappointment with the likes of Ablakwa,Ayariga and Kwetey last year. Doing the same thing and anticipating a different result is a sign of ***barred word***. Okudjato,Ayariga should be moved to the back bench in parliament and NDC political activities if they want Ghanaians to take them serious. President Mahama was given the same advice but it fell on ***barred word*** EARS. President Mahama now holds the enviable tittle of the most resoundingly electorally beaten sitting President since the inception of the Fourth Republic. Minority Leader keep them at your own/party's peril.
You see! Your statement was basically a mischief. You wanted to draw in the Akyem aspect so that you bring in Nana Addo. Your apology is not enough, you have to step down as MP. Since you entered parliament it has always been lying lying lying. You lied that you colleagues MP took bribe. You are not fit to be in the house. Step down.
Because your mind was contaminated you couldn't differentiate Bunso from Kyebi that's how politics can take you.
