Akomea criticized Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa's handling of the matter, accusing him of prematurely labeling Acheampong's actions as "sleazy" before a CHRAJ investigation. He defended Acheampong's capability to manage hotels, citing his successful ventures in the hospitality sector.

He suggested broadening the CHRAJ investigation to include all SSNIT properties sold to politicians, including NDC members, similar to Ablakwa's petition against Acheampong.

Ablakwa's petition to CHRAJ seeks to halt Acheampong's acquisition of six hotels, alleging abuse of power, lack of due process, and other irregularities. SSNIT clarified that Acheampong's company secured the 60% shares in the hotels through a competitive bidding process, offering the best deal.
