Felix Kwakye Ofosu, Acting Spokesperson to President John Dramani Mahama, has defended the President\u2019s use of a private jet owned by his brother, Ibrahim Mahama, for official trips to Senegal and The Gambia.<\/p>\n
Responding to public criticism, Kwakye Ofosu clarified that the private jet has been available to President Mahama even before the 2024 general elections.<\/p>\n
He emphasized that this arrangement incurs no cost to the Ghanaian taxpayer, as the jet was made available for the trips without charge.<\/p>\n
He further assured the public that President Mahama remains committed to prudent management of public funds and is mindful of the country\u2019s economic situation.<\/p>\n
Kwakye Ofosu also revealed that the official presidential aircraft is currently under review by the Communications Squadron, the Air Force unit responsible for its operation, hence the private jet use.<\/p>\n
Mr. Kwakye Ofosu further assured the public that President Mahama will resume using the official presidential jet as soon as the review is completed.<\/p>\n
In an interview with TV3, Kwakye Ofosu said, \u201cThe most critical point is that this alternative arrangement has not in any way, shape, or form cost the Ghanaian taxpayer a dime. President Mahama is mindful of the precarious economic situation and is committed to utilising public funds prudently.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe president is focused on ensuring the best outcomes for Ghana, especially during these economically challenging times.\u201d<\/p>\n
