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 states: “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,” the Forth Estate said.
Sir John also willed some Government of Ghana Ramsar lands; a wetlands site designated to be of international importance under the Ramsar convention and located at Sakumono in Accra to the named persons.
Among other things, the report also mentioned houses, guns, gold business all listed in the NPP politicians last will and testaments.
The properties were bequeath to his children, sisters and their children.
The report has since received various reactions from the Ghanaian public, social media users most, especially.
This is the will of a Deceased politician and former NPP appointee. Can you imagine how much wealth the past government led by bossu accrued and what the Nana-Bawumia appointees are also getting?
