The member of Parliament for North Tongu Constituency, Honaroble Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa has raised some questions on Akufo-Addo’s decision on the use of Presidential Jet.<\/p>\n
In a post shared on his official Facebook page on Wednesday, 7th September 2022, he wrote <\/p>\n
“I can disclose with absolute certainty and without fear of contradiction that a few days before President Akufo-Addo\u2019s current travel to The Netherlands and France, Ghana\u2019s Presidential Jet \u2014 the Falcon 900EX was on Tuesday August 30, 2022 flown non-stop to France for a flight time of 6hours and 24minutes from Accra.”<\/p>\n
Okudzeto remarked that it is instructive to note that contrary to what Director of Communications at the Presidency, Mr. Eugene Arhin, would want us believe as per his earlier claims that the Presidential Jet is no longer fit to fly direct beyond 6 hours\u2014 a dubious claim which now stands discredited; the Presidential Jet on this latest trip was flown direct or non-stop for 6hours and 24minutes to Paris, France.<\/p>\n
Ghana\u2019s Presidential Jet is still in France as at today the 7th of September, 2022 since landing at the Paris Le Bourget International Airport at 3:20pm on August 30, 2022. He disclosed.<\/p>\n
He further revealed that, President Akufo-Addo left Accra on the night of September 3, 2022 aboard KLM after delaying the commercial flight. More fundamentally, government owes the Ghanaian people \u2014 whole have every right to know. <\/p>\n
Okudzeto asked these three questions;<\/p>\n
1) Who used the Presidential Jet to France and what is the purpose of the trip?<\/p>\n
2) Why did government not pursue judiciousness and frugality by harmonizing both travels to save taxpayer funds, particularly in this period of IMF bailout economic crisis, especially considering that the Presidential Jet flew to the same enclave within the same week of the President\u2019s travel?<\/p>\n
3) Will President Akufo-Addo exhibit some modicum of prudence and respect for his pledge to protect the public purse by returning home on the 10th of September, 2022 aboard Ghana\u2019s Presidential Jet or the wastefulness will continue with the apparently needless multiple opaque flight arrangements?<\/p>\n
