President John Dramani Mahama has dismissed claims that he owns Chain Homes, one of Ghana’s well-known real estate developments, describing the rumours as completely baseless.
Speaking at a community gathering in the estate on Monday, President Mahama recounted how he and his family came to reside in the neighbourhood.
“While we were looking for a place to rent, we didn’t find one. Finally, someone suggested Chain Homes. There was a house at the corner, built and handed over to Chain Homes for rental. That’s how we ended up in this neighbourhood,” he explained.
He addressed misconceptions surrounding ownership directly: “Some believed the estate belongs to me. So, all of you who bought these houses bought them illegally because you should have paid me. If you paid your money to Addai and Co., please ask for a refund and bring my money.”
President Mahama’s remarks aimed to quell speculation and clarify that residing in the estate does not imply ownership, emphasising that the narrative linking him to the property is entirely false.
