A list of over 416 individuals, mostly former government officials, as well as public institutions were reported to have allocated state lands between 2009 and 2016.

The list included Ex-president John Agyekum Kufuor, the late Jake Obetsebi Lamptey, KT Hammond, Ex-president John Rawlings, Former Chair of the NDC Dr Kwabena Adjei, the past CEO of the NHIA, Dr Sylvester Mensah, Lee Ocran, former CEO of COCOBOD, the former National Security Coordinator, and Chairperson of Caridem.

The report which was carried out by Joy News claimed that the officials acquired state lands in luxurious areas such as Airport Residential Area, North Ridge, East Legon Switch Backroad, at meagre prices.
