Member of Parliament for North Tongu Samuel has said that the Owoo family was just a code name.
He indicates that it stands for Officials Within Organized Operations.
His comment comes on the back of Sir John’s will which has been leaked on social media.
In the will, Sir John allotted portions of lands in the Achimota Forest to his family members.
On page 4 of the will, Kwadwo Owusu Afriyie, whose office was situated at the Achimota Forest until his death, states:
“I give my land situated at the Achimota Forest in the name of Jakaypro Limited and measuring 5.541 acres to the following persons forever.
–Yaw Amoateng Afriyie -One (1) acre
— Eva Akua Afriyie One (1) acre
–Ivy Akua Afriyie One (1) acre
–Elizabeth Asare Boateng (aka Mother) One (1) acre
–Michael Owusu 1.541 acres
On page 5 of the will, it is stated: “I give my land also situate at the Achimota Forest in the name of Fasoh Limited and measuring 0.987acres to my nephews Michael Owusu, Yaw Boadu and Kwabena Amoateng forever.”
On the same page, the will states: “I jointly own a piece of land at Achimota Forest with Charles Owusu. Upon my demise, my portion of the said land should be given to Ruth Korkor Odonkor.”
That’s not all. On the same page 5 and still on the Achimota Forest, the will state: “I give my portion of land that jointly own at the Achimota Forest in the name of DML Limited to Elizabeth Asare Boateng who at the time of making this will is domiciled in the USA forever.”
Reacting to the will Okudzeto Ablakwa said “The Owoo family will definitely enter the record books as Ghana’s biggest extended family. It’s much clearer now that OWOO is a code for Officials Within Organized Operations. The reason I went to the Supreme Court in 2008 against public officials buying government lands — BAN this now!”
