Deputy Minority Whip and Member of Parliament for Tolon, Alhaji Habib Iddrisu
The Deputy Minority Whip and Member of Parliament for Tolon, Alhaji Habib Iddrisu, has invoked Article 21(1)(f) of the 1992 Constitution and Section 18 of the Right to Information (RTI) Act to formally request that President John Dramani Mahama publish an update or release the full findings of the investigation into the tragic aircraft accident that occurred on August 6, 2025.
The crash claimed the lives of eight gallant public officials, including two ministers of state, Omane Boamah, Minister of Defence and Murtala Mohammed, Minister of Environment, Science, Technology and Innovation.
In a statement, Habib Iddrisu reminded the Presidency of its earlier pledge to release the committee’s report or provide an update within 30 days of the commencement of the probe.
However, more than two months after the committee began its work, no public update has been made available.
“Over two months after the commencement of the committee’s work, the public must have knowledge about the report to prove government’s transparency during such emergency situations,” he stressed.

While acknowledging that investigations of this magnitude may take time, the Tolon MP urged the committee to provide at least a partial or interim report to update Ghanaians on the progress made so far.
Habib Iddrisu said timely disclosure would help build public confidence in the government’s commitment to transparency and accountability, especially in matters involving the loss of lives of senior public officials.
